Lärche
Larch is a conifer native to Central Europe, but it has spread to large parts of the northern hemisphere.
Larch wood has a dark brown to reddish-orange color with very distinct annual rings, with the sapwood and heartwood clearly separated from each other. The structure is straight-grained and fairly knot-free. The wood also has a very high resin content, which can cause problems when cutting the wood. Like all coniferous woods, larch also has a tendency to split.When working with hand tools, however, larch is easy to work with, although tools do become dirty with resin.
Larch wood dries quickly and without any problems, with a slight tendency to warp.
