I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about using Norway Spruce in aircraft? Lowes has a lot of nice looking spruce if you're willing to pick through a stack. It's imported from Germany by Klausen Trading. It's marked "N SPR GER". I spoke with someone at the company and he told me it was "Nordic Spruce"; I can't find any info on such a species so I guess he must be talking about Norway Spruce.
AC 43.13 and others just sort of lump all the spruces together so I'm wondering if this one can be treated the same way.
The wood is light strong with a fine grain and pretty straight fibers. I cut some capstrip and find it's similar in strength to Douglas Fir.
I wonder what kind of wood the Europeans use.
