It is soft, light, durable and easy to work with. The dark knots create a particularly beautiful pattern. Freshly cut stone pine wood retains its characteristic scent for decades. Swiss stone pine wood has positive effects on circulation, sleep and well-being, which is why Swiss stone pine parlors and Swiss stone pine rooms are very popular nowadays!
