i see the page but it doesnt help much as it is just a list of abeto woods . It is really a type of fir tree, and of which there are different colours and types ( red , white etc) and sub types , turns up in Spanish wikipedia as abeto comun o abeto blanco in fact it seems to have a lot of sub groups and many names for the same thing I knew there were some but not as many as i see here , i copy this for names list .. Castellano: abete, abeto, abeto blanco, abeto-branco, abeto común, abeto de Escocia, abeto de hoja de tejo, abeto de hojas de tejo, abeto de Normandía, abeto noble, abeto pectinado, abeto plateado, abetuna, abetunas, picea, pinabete, pinabete común, pinavete, pino-abeto, sapino. Altoaragonés: abet, abete, abetina, abeto. Aragonés: abet, abete, abetuna, abetunas, abez, bet, pibet, pinabete. But anyway its basically a christmas tree,....... Also I read a cabinet maker writing about this wood Las maderas se diferencian por cinco caracteristicas: Color, veta, dureza, higroscopicidad (absorcion de humedad) y el costo Abeto y pino es la misma familia de las Coniferas (ramaje en forma conica), Abeto es un tipo o variedad de pino. Es muy usado como arbol de navidad. Como en casi todos los pinos lo hay blanco y lo hay rojo. El pino Abeto o cualquier otro, es de color blanco o rojo, de veta abundante y marcada, consistencia blanda, muy higroscopico, de bajo costo en relacion a otras maderas. La variedad de pino o Abeto rojo absorbe menos humedad que la variedad blanca, por que es aceitoso, mas resinoso. and so it goes on as he talks about how to polish it etc , but anyway all these trees are somewhat similar in terms of the type being pine/fir trees ,,, spruce, pine etc .......and different ones grow at different heights and regions ..... So the word pino abeto could and probably does refer to different types of tree depending on who is talking and where they are ,................ its still a christmas tree though .........[:D]
