Page "Juniperus communis" Paragraph 21

It is too small to have any general lumber usage.

In Scandinavia, however, juniper wood is used for making containers for storing small quantities of dairy products such as butter and cheese, and also for making wooden butter knives.

In Estonia juniper wood is valued for its long lasting and pleasant aroma, very decorative natural structure of wood ( growth rings ) as well as good physical properties of wood due to slow growth rate of juniper and resulting dense and strong wood.

Various decorative items ( often eating utensils ) are common in most Estonian handicraft shops and households.
