Hardness (Janka)
380 lbf; Very Soft.
Durability & Decay Resistance
Slightly Durable; untreated pine has limited decay and insect resistance, especially outdoors.
Value & Age
Roughly US$3–8 per board foot for common pine lumber; installed or reclaimed paneling varies widely by region and condition.
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; the dark finish and wear suggest use, but do not establish the wood’s age.
Common Uses
Interior paneling, trim, furniture, cabinetry, and general construction.
Geographic Origin
Eastern white pine is native to eastern North America.
Workability
Generally easy to cut, plane, sand, and glue; soft surfaces dent readily, and knots can complicate machining and finishing.
Finish Recommendations
Clean and lightly sand; use a compatible sealer or conditioner before stain to reduce blotching, then apply clear varnish or polyurethane.
Notable Features
Visible knots and resinous streaks are characteristic of knotty pine; the boards have a warm, rustic appearance.
