What kind of wood is this

[xelirator]

What is this timber called? I assume it cannot be bought in regular hardware stores! Please feel free to suggest where these can be bought in the Uppsala/Stockholm area.

I would guess it's old driftwood from spruce.. Otherwise, you could rough-saw a spruce and dry it in the sun for 40 years, and I think you'll get what you're looking for

Joking aside, it looked like it's been there for 100 years, really nice!

I don't think it's possible to "manufacture" such boards.

All frame saws saw like this before it's edged!

Unedged pine is what you're looking for

Call the first farmer near where you live, ask if he has a solosåg, or knows someone who does.
Otherwise, you can come to Dalarna, here they still saw at certain sawmills with a frame, any circular saw will do just as well for that matter.

Okay perfect! I live near Österbybruk so I will contact both. Thanks for the help!

Now I have received 70 meters of unedged pine..should I oil them or use some good stain to protect the wood perhaps? Tips are welcome

Iron vitriol if you want it "grayish"
Neutral oil if you want it to age and change color.
Broken oil if you want color or shade differences.
Base oil and glaze if you want it "painted," then the grain will show depending on how many layers of glaze you apply.
Covering paint is not always so nice on unedged! By covering paint, I mean an acrylate or alkyd.
There are many variants, I myself would probably choose to base oil neutrally and a slightly broken glaze towards dark brown or black! Byggmax has a reasonably priced, Midun black glaze, around 800:- for 10 liters.
Beckers, Alcro, Cuprinol.... there are many good manufacturers!
Midun at Byggmax is made by one of these more well-known brands, so it's usually not rubbish, it maintains more than okay quality on the products I've tested!
Just for fun, I usually buy different kinds of paint at different hardware stores, most paint dealers often have good goods!

Or nothing if you want it like the old one.
If it's airy with the ability to dry out like in your image, it will work, just keep an eye on the vegetation so it doesn't cover and create a constantly damp environment.
Roslagsmahogny is a very pleasant treatment too...

 

[xelirator]

Spot on answer! I want them to show the grain and preferably in a lighter shade. So base oil and some glaze will probably be the best then

 

[ArneTW]

I wouldn't have used any stain.

Ps I like roslagsmahogny but if you want to keep it a little lighter maybe linolja works well. Ds
Pps nothing stays nicest in the long run as long as it stands free and airy dds

Unfortunately, linseed oil molds, it will be full of black mold that must be kept away. Normally, I prefer linseed oil, but in this case, it might be good with a less healthy, deep-penetrating oil!

I have now received 70 meters of rough pine..should I oil it or use some good stain to protect the wood perhaps? Tips are welcome

If you want it to look like the picture then you shouldn't put anything on it, but maybe use a pressure washer to remove the soft parts.

If you oil it, it will look like freshly sawn rough pine.
