- Softwood
- Origin
- Eastern white pine is native to eastern North America, especially the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada.

Grain Pattern
Mostly straight, subdued grain with broad, irregular growth-band variation; rough-sawn face obscures finer figure. No clear knots or distinctive figure are visible.
Color & Appearance
Muted tan to light brown, with darker weathering or handling marks. The surface appears oxidized; fresh-cut wood would likely be paler.
Hardness (Janka)
380 lbf — Soft.
Durability & Decay Resistance
Non-durable to slightly durable; untreated wood has limited resistance to decay, insects, and weather exposure.
Value & Age
Typical clear or select stock is roughly US$3–8 per board foot; grade, dimensions, and region substantially affect price.
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 this image; surface discoloration may reflect exposure or handling rather than age.
Common Uses
Interior trim, furniture, cabinetry, carving, patternmaking, and general construction.
Geographic Origin
Eastern white pine is native to eastern North America, especially the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada.
Workability
Generally easy to cut, plane, sand, glue, and fasten; soft fibers can dent, and resinous areas may affect machining or finishing.
Finish Recommendations
Sand evenly and use a sealer or conditioner before stain to reduce blotching; clear oil, shellac, lacquer, or polyurethane are suitable.
Notable Features
Lightweight, generally low-density wood with relatively subtle grain; the visible rough surface prevents confident assessment of resin, scent, or end-grain features.
