Janka about 380 lbf — Very Soft.
Durability & Decay Resistance
Slightly Durable; untreated wood has limited resistance to decay, insects, and weathering.
Value & Age
Roughly US$3–8 per board foot for common clear or knotty stock; varies substantially by grade 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
- Not reliably estimable from the image; surface appears unfinished or lightly aged, without clear patina or wear indicators.
Common Uses
Interior trim, paneling, furniture, cabinetry, crates, and general light construction.
Geographic Origin
Eastern white pine is native to eastern North America; Scots pine, an alternative, is native across Europe and northern Asia.
Workability
Light and easy to saw, plane, sand, and fasten, but soft fibers dent readily; knots can cause tearout or resin buildup.
Finish Recommendations
Sand evenly, seal knots with shellac if resin bleed is a concern, then use clear varnish, polyurethane, oil, or paint.
Notable Features
The large, dark knots and strong growth-ring contrast are characteristic of knotty pine; resin may be present around knots.
