Grain Pattern
Mostly straight, fine-to-moderate grain; paint removal and the view shown obscure growth rings and other diagnostic features.
Color & Appearance
Exposed wood appears salmon-tan to reddish brown, possibly altered by age or finish; heartwood and sapwood cannot be distinguished.
Hardness (Janka)
Varies by pine species, roughly 380–870 lbf; generally Soft to Medium.
Durability & Decay Resistance
Usually Slightly Durable to Non-durable when untreated; rot and insect resistance vary by species and heartwood content.
Value & Age
Ordinary pine lumber commonly sells for about $2–$6 per board foot; reclaimed or figured material may differ.
AI estimate for general guidance only — not a professional appraisal. Actual value depends on grade, dimensions, condition, and local market demand.
- Wood Age Estimate
- Indeterminable from this image; paint, patina, and wear do not reveal the wood’s age.
Common Uses
Furniture, trim, cabinetry, framing, flooring, and painted millwork.
Geographic Origin
Pines grow across much of the Northern Hemisphere; origin cannot be determined from the photograph.
Workability
Generally easy to saw, plane, sand, and fasten; resin, knots, and soft earlywood can cause uneven sanding or finishing.
Finish Recommendations
Remove remaining paint and residue, sand evenly, then use a compatible stain or clear finish; test a small area because color may vary.
Notable Features
The board appears substantial and may be dense pine, but weight alone cannot identify the species.
Notes
I am stripping this really heavy, thick green paint off and I don’t know what kind of wood this is
