Pinus spp.
APPEARANCE
Heartwood is yellow after cutting and turns deep pinkish tan to warm reddish brown within weeks due to high resin content. Sapwood remains yellow, with occasional blue-black sap stain. Grain is dense with high figuring. Plainsawn grain is swirled and quartersawn grain is predominantly pinstriped.
PROPERTIES
Slightly softer than average hardness with Janka Rating of 1225. Above average dimensional stability with a change coefficient of 0.00263. Dense wood.
WORKABILITY
Good machining and hand-tooling qualities. High resin content requires initial coarse sanding. Holds nails well. Accepts both surface and penetrating finishes but care must be taken with some finishes due to surface resins.
