Kelo is a high-quality wood from polar pine that has naturally dried out. The bark-free wood has a gray surface and reddish heartwood. In the north, tree growth stops after 300-400 years. The transformation process to Kelo wood then lasts several decades, after which the tree can remain standing for hundreds of years.
