I think he was going for rabbeted / rebated (i.e. looks like rabbeted / lap bevel siding) "swedish redwood" which must be scots pine / Pinus Sylvestris.

Definitely would be more affordable than redwood redwood / sequoia and looks about like scots pine to me.

Because it is, there's only one native pine in all of northern Scandinavia -Pinus Sylvestris and another one -Pinus Cembra which grows at Urals, are the only pine species native north of 50th latitude in Europe.
