Grain Pattern
Mostly straight to mildly irregular grain, with visible growth-ring bands and occasional knots; the broad drawer faces appear flat-sawn. No distinctive figured pattern is apparent.
Color & Appearance
Warm golden to medium brown with darker grain and knots, likely enhanced by an aged or tinted finish. Sapwood and heartwood are not clearly distinguishable; the finish and light exposure may have deepened the color.
Hardness (Janka)
Eastern white pine: about 380 lbf, Very Soft; other pines vary by species.
Durability & Decay Resistance
Slightly Durable; untreated pine has limited decay and insect resistance, especially outdoors.
Value & Age
Common pine lumber is roughly US$2–6 per board foot retail; this is not an appraisal of the finished furniture.
AI estimate for general guidance only — not a professional appraisal. Actual value depends on grade, dimensions, condition, and local market demand.
- Wood Age Estimate
- The photograph shows a used, patinated finish, but visual appearance alone cannot reliably establish the wood's age.
Common Uses
Furniture, cabinetry, interior trim, shelving, and general woodworking.
Geographic Origin
Pines grow widely across the Northern Hemisphere; Eastern white pine is native to eastern North America.
Workability
Generally easy to cut, plane, sand, and glue, but soft surfaces dent readily and resinous knots can complicate finishing.
Finish Recommendations
Clean gently, test the existing finish, and use compatible wax, shellac, or clear topcoat; apply conditioner or sealer before stain to reduce blotching.
Notable Features
Visible knots and contrasting growth rings are characteristic of pine; the cabinet's construction and finish may obscure the original wood color.
