Search Google for "The Wood Explorer" tool - great research.

Doug Fir - used to have half a dozen with over a hundred coastal
Redwoods. I left them there and hope they still are growing.

Moderate blunting effect.
Farly easy to bore
Fair to good results in carving.
Easy to to saw.

'spruce' - only 1 of 35 or so evergreen trees - vague name usage
but common in general talk.

Norway spruce is a species. It is one of the 35. They are all different...
