Help with Swedish wood types?

[PeterJeffrey]

I'm a bit curious noob in the fine woodworking industry
I've mostly only had pine available when I'm doing woodworking, and would like to take it to the next level now.
Soon I will have access to sawn oak, birch, ash, and to some extent maple and maybe aspen when it's time to make room for an upcoming house build.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about the different Swedish types of wood and what the advantages of each type are.
I wonder if you would like to share your knowledge and experiences about the different Swedish types of wood.
Partly which types of wood are good to use for what, and how to access them.

Does anyone know of any good text - preferably with photos of the types of wood - sort of like a 'flora' for fine woodworkers

I think you'll get more responses under the furniture carpentry category.

I've checked out a few times, carried the hyvelbänk in myself last week so soon I'll get started

Aha yes exactly! Maybe a moderator can move the thread there??

I received a recommendation for a book that seems really good - 'Nordic Trees and Woods' by, among others, forestry master T. Dahlgren, published by 'Arkus Förlag'. What I have seen and read so far I have found to be good!
