Grain Pattern
Mostly straight, with narrow growth-ring lines; appears flat-sawn or plain-sawn. No distinctive figure is visible.

Eastern white pine: about 380 lbf, Very Soft.
Durability & Decay Resistance
Slightly Durable; untreated pine has limited resistance to decay and insects, especially outdoors.
Value & Age
Common pine lumber is roughly US$2–6 per board foot retail, varying by grade, dimensions, and region.
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 estimated from the image; visible surface wear alone does not establish age.
Common Uses
Furniture, paneling, trim, cabinetry, carving, and general construction.
Geographic Origin
Eastern North America if Eastern white pine; other pine species occur widely across temperate regions.
Workability
Generally easy to cut, plane, sand, and glue; soft fibers can dent, tear, or become fuzzy, and fasteners may split edges.
Finish Recommendations
Sand evenly and seal before applying clear finish; stain may absorb unevenly, so use a conditioner or test first.
Notable Features
Lightweight, typically resinous, with clearly visible growth rings; the image does not show enough detail to assess scent or resin content.
