General description: The tree has wide, pale yellow sapwood, with much darker heartwood varying from
deep yellow to reddish-brown in color. The resin ducts appear as fine dark brown lines on longitudinal
surfaces and the heartwood is considerably heavier than the soft wood, which is soft, uniform in texture and non-resinous.

Working Properties: The wood works easily and well with little blunting effect on cutters. The knots are
usually sound. Resin exudation is the chief problem, as this is the most resinous of Canadian pines. It can
be glues satisfactory, takes nails and screws, stains and gives reasonable results in painting and varnishing
if treated for gumminess.

Uses: The valuable sapwood is used for pattern making and similar purposes where stability is important, kitchen furniture, doors, window frames, interior trim and general carpentry.
