On appearance of a growing tree hardly anyone confuse pine and spruce. Wood carver but it is desirable to be able to distinguish between spruce and pine wood but the texture, but to do this is much more complicated. It may be noted that the pine has a dark core and light sapwood (the outer part of the trunk), while the spruce core is not - she belongs to the so-called breed without a kernel of wood. However, this feature is unreliable, because the kernel of the pine is formed only in 30 years, and even later. Svezhespilennaya spruce wood is lighter, smells of spruce needles and pine smells of resin. For the typical black spruce suchochki as if inserted into the timber. They sometimes fall out of spruce boards during its processing. A cross-grained wood of pines, particularly the area, and knots. This feature of the pines are carvers, using a beautiful, drawing fibers around knots for decorative purposes. Do, for example, saw cut in the form of plates with whorls of young pines (whorl - part of the trunk from which branches diverge ring) and paste them their wares: jewelry boxes, vases, table tops. The wood of spruce and pine bad cut across the growth rings. The tool as it rides on these layers. The texture of wood, pine, and is easily confused with larch heartwood and breed. Especially as an adult pines are the same ones. annual rings. The easiest way to distinguish the wood of pine and larch, dropping the samples into the water - a piece of larch plunge deeper. Speaking of the pine, should be made of resin, internal knot, overgrown with wood. Their deep ocher, almost orange that is good to use for small craft, if the crafts are made of colored wood. For example, one of the resinous knots and resinous areas other wood with feet sharpen berries are grape type brush by inserting pins into the holes on a wooden base brush. These brushes and leaves of the common pine is well draw the external contour of the frame (grapes from resinous knots look like amber, even translucent).
