WHITE PINE WOOD
When the early colonists settled North America they were greeted by magnificent old growth Eastern White Pine. They put this peaceful fine textured soft wood with a pumpkin colored heart to use building fine furniture, flooring and architectural paneling. Today these works are treasured by antique collectors and homeowners. Although the new growth White Pine does not have the same fine texture and color, it is still a good soft wood and is used for unpainted furniture, flooring, paneling, and moldings.
- Tight grained soft wood
- Good for carving
- Tight red knots
- Good paint grade lumber
