Botanical Name: (Picea engelmannii )
Engelmann has many of the same traits as German Spruce and costs less. The tops are often more homogeneous looking with the early and late-growth rings being less distinct than those of Sitka. Engelmann has a beautiful ivory sheen with occasional pink streaking. Although softer than German Spruce, it must be handled with care. Keep a clean workbench. Glue up a little thicker than normal as the glue line can be more apparent with Engelmann than other top woods. Our 3A tops are very nice and would probably be graded 4A by others.
The color in the pics is off on these sets but they are the typical nice white engleman spruce. Give us a call. We woould be happy to pick one out for you..
