Likely eastern white pine; the image appears to show painted or weathered door panels, so species identification is uncertain.
Pinus strobus · Softwood
AI-generated identification · may be incorrect- Type
- Softwood
- Origin
- Native to eastern North America, especially the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada.
- Hardness
- 380 lbf — Very Soft.
- Durability
- Non-durable to slightly durable when exposed; heartwood has limited decay resistance, and the wood is susceptible to insects and weathering.

Grain Pattern
Mostly straight, with broad, subtle growth-ring bands; the door's panel construction and finish obscure clear grain and cut orientation.
Color & Appearance
Visible exposed areas are pale yellow to light tan, with darker brown edging and gray-blue painted or weathered surfaces. Unfinished white pine typically darkens toward amber with age and light.
Hardness (Janka)
380 lbf — Very Soft.
Durability & Decay Resistance
Non-durable to slightly durable when exposed; heartwood has limited decay resistance, and the wood is susceptible to insects and weathering.
Value & Age
Common clear pine lumber is roughly $3–$8 per board foot at retail; reclaimed door material varies substantially by condition and provenance.
AI estimate for general guidance only — not a professional appraisal. Actual value depends on grade, dimensions, condition, and local market demand.
- Wood Age Estimate
- Cannot be reliably dated from the image; worn finish suggests use, but does not establish the wood's age.
Common Uses
Interior doors, trim, furniture, cabinetry, carving, and general interior millwork.
Geographic Origin
Native to eastern North America, especially the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada.
Workability
Easy to cut, plane, sand, and glue, but its softness dents readily and resinous areas may gum tools; predrill near edges to reduce splitting.
Finish Recommendations
Remove or stabilize existing coating before refinishing; seal knots if present, then use paint, shellac, or clear polyurethane. Test a small area because old coatings and uneven absorption can affect results.
Notable Features
Lightweight, generally straight-grained wood with occasional knots and resin pockets; the pictured finish prevents confident assessment of these features.
