Physical Properties
White Pine is a soft and light. It is not stiff, therefore yielding a low shock and wear resistance. It has a low decay resistance. It does accept stains and sealers with ease. It has a quick drying time and shrinks little. It is dimensionally stable after kiln drying.

Working Properties
White Pine has excellent workability qualities. It easily saws, planes, sands, and glues. It finishes nicely, although a sealer is recommended beforehand. It has good nail and screw strength, without the necessity of pre-drilling.

RECLAIMED CHESTNUT

As with most old-growth trees, the White Pine was heavily harvested for its lumber, making it a valuable resource. Old-growth trees yielded wider boards than available today. Boards and beams from old buildings are being reclaimed for lumber to renew the use of these historic trees. New lumber from White Pine has a light brown to yellow or reddish brown color heartwood with cream white sapwood. It is fine grained with a uniform texture. The wood color darkens with time and exposure to light, with or without finish.

Habitat
White Pine is native to Southeastern Canada, the Great Lakes region, and the Appalachian range. It now grows in areas that have been destroyed by wildfires. It prefers moist, sandy soils and cool, humid climates. It has been found to grow well in well-drained areas, rocky highlands, and boggy areas.
