Any idea what timber this is?

Hi

Can anyone tell me what the wood is in the attached photo? It is the cladding on the walls of an apartment in the alps.

Thanks

Sorry - yes, it is inside cladding on all the walls!

Baltic redwood?

If it's in the Alps, then most likely one of the local pine or spruce species.

I have seen this stuff you show and it is definately a local pine, etc...a softwood. I did admire it as it seems to come in stud panel form all ready made up. Perhaps two skins with a core stud (thing?) of perhasp 50mm. Quite soft but well put together. I also admired long engineered sections of wood in the merchants made up in perhaps 10-15m long for structural use. They used tooth cutters. The other thing I noticed was they seem to cut wide boards without splits, cupping, etc. A bit scandinavian. Best wishes.
