Beautiful, bright, velvety Aspen wood is white and light, strong when dry, hard and durable. Aspen is especially valued in the interior finishing of saunas: due to its poor thermal conductivity, sauna benches do not seem too hot. Well-planed aspen boards are pleasantly smooth and soft and comfortable to sit on. The annual rings of the aspen are weakly distinguished, which makes the material beautiful and bright with an even texture.

As aspen wood has no off-flavours, it was used to make wooden dishes in earlier times. Aspen is also used in the pharmaceutical industry: glucose is made from the leaves and bark of the aspen. The aspen tree is a favourite food of many wild animals, especially in winter: the branches, shoots and leaves are a favourite for goats and elk and aspen bark is enjoyed by rabbits and mice.
