380 lbf — Very Soft (typical eastern white pine).
Durability & Decay Resistance
Slightly Durable; untreated wood has limited decay and weather resistance, and is vulnerable to insects.
Value & Age
Roughly $3–$8 per board foot for ordinary surfaced stock; grade, region, dimensions, and local market can change this substantially.
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 estimated from the image; bark and cut surfaces provide no reliable age indicators.
Common Uses
Interior trim, furniture, paneling, carving, boxes, and general construction; this image does not show lumber grade.
Geographic Origin
Eastern North America, from the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada into the Appalachian region.
Workability
Usually easy to saw, plane, sand, glue, and fasten; its softness can lead to dents, fuzzy surfaces, and crushed fibers.
Finish Recommendations
Sand carefully and seal with a compatible stain, oil, lacquer, or clear polyurethane; use a conditioner or sealer before stain to reduce blotching.
Notable Features
The image shows a felled, bark-on log with rough, scaly plates; no diagnostic end grain, scent, or clear wood figure is visible.
