Grain Pattern
Mostly straight, fine, evenly spaced growth lines with prominent oval knots; likely flat-sawn boards.
Color & Appearance
Pale creamy white to light honey-brown, with modest luster; it darkens to warm amber with age and light exposure.
Hardness (Janka)
380 lbf Janka — Very Soft
Durability & Decay Resistance
Slightly Durable; limited natural resistance to decay, insects, and weathering, especially when unfinished.
Value & Age
Approximately $4–$10 per board foot for clear, surfaced material; figured or reclaimed examples may cost more.
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 board appears finished and lightly worn, but visible surface evidence cannot reliably establish its age; likely modern lumber.
Common Uses
Interior paneling, furniture, cabinetry, trim, shelving, flooring, carving, and general construction lumber.
Geographic Origin
Eastern North America, especially the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada; widely plantation-grown elsewhere.
Workability
Very easy to cut, plane, sand, glue, and fasten, though it dents easily and resinous knots can affect finishing and blade cleanliness.
Finish Recommendations
Use sanding sealer or conditioner before stain to reduce blotching; clear polyurethane, lacquer, shellac, or hardwax oil preserves the natural color.
Notable Features
Lightweight, soft, acoustically lively, and commonly marked by attractive knots; the image lacks end-grain detail, so similar pine species remain possible.
