Can't find poplar without knots

I work in wood industri and I have seen how nice & big wood you have in Austria saw mills.chrismp wrote:Just FYI, we pay 700-800 EUR/m3 for spruce in great quality directly from the sawmill. The same wood is used by piano makers.
I think that 1500-2000 €/ m3 of high quality dry wood is normal price at least here. if you think how much you need? I pay app. 3-4 € / meter for the knotless aspen. I think it is reasonable price and there is not much waste.motoman wrote: What about 2000 EUR?))) It that I was proposed. Talking about poplar.
For Europe it might be normal, but for us it is very high price. In comparison it is like average year salary for my country))heke wrote:

In this case, the price is not formed on the quality but on the quantity of felled trees. For instance from 10 m3 they make one. There is a lot of waste.
Finally we found a good wood.
On the left is pine and on the right is spruce.
Pine is a bit heavier. After some experiments we will check mechanical characteristics.
the most pleasant thing is that the price for spruce is several times lower than for the poplar.
Thank you, guys for the good advice!!!

I never researched spruce .... To my surprise have identical properties to popular.Dtrain wrote:Spruce for the win! Hell ya. I'm happy for yA!😜
@Dtrin how you sow yours? such a nice straight grain wood makes sense to have 1/4sowing
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

I forgot you making blocks. I glue up each core individual and 1/4sawing wood much convenientDtrain wrote:cutting that way would be preferable but one piece spruce cores don't give much for binding retention. we flat saw 1x6 and glue up blocks then resaw.
never intended to use one piece core because 1/4sawing
