The country also has very serviceable pinewood and, as we were told by Norwegians living there, local timber or white pine, spruce, and white cedar is as good as it is in Norway. Pines are not so common near the sea and saltwater shores, some places excepted, but far inland and at the upper reaches of the rivers pine trees abound, whole forests of them, and big enough for ships masts and all kinds of spars.
