Pine, Corsican

by TDUK|04 September 2204 April 24

The heartwood is light yellowish-brown clearly demarcated from the yellowish-white sapwood. It is similar in appearance to Scots pine, but the sapwood is wider, much wider in material grown in the UK while the texture is fairly coarse. The wood weighs 510 kg/m3 when dried, and often contains a greater...

Pine, Elliotis

by TDUK|04 September 2204 April 24

Older trees yield material typically harder and heavier than most other commercial pines, comparable in strength qualities with good quality douglas fir. However, most commercial timber is from younger, plantation grown stock and is light in weight, brittle and soft. Sapwood usually about 50mm but up to 150mm wide. Heartwood...

Pine, Jack

by TDUK|04 September 2204 April 24

A timber of the hard-pine class, with a sapwood yellowish in colour and about 38mm wide, and a heartwood varying in colour from pale brown to reddish-brown. It is not unlike European redwood (P. sylvestris) in appearance, but is more resinous, brittle, and coarser in texture, and is inclined to...

Pine, Lodgepole

by TDUK|04 September 2204 April 24

A pale yellowish-coloured timber, soft, straight-grained, with a fine, fairly even texture, weighing about 470 kg/m3 when dried. Although on account of its size it does not produce much high-grade timber, it yields a good grade of wood with small, tight knots.

Pine, Maritime

by TDUK|04 September 2204 April 24

Similar to Scots pine in appearance, but more resinous, coarser-textured, with a greater preponderance of knots, and a wider sapwood. It is an important source of resin extraction in parts of Europe, and since tapping encourages the formation of resin within the tree, this results in variations in the weight...

Pine, Patula

by TDUK|04 September 2204 April 24

Sapwood is not easily distinguishable from heartwood. Early wood is almost white while late wood is pale brown. Numerous small resin canals, visible to the naked eye and prominent on tangential surfaces. Grain may be straight, spiral or wavy. Logs and sawn timber susceptible to blue stain.

Pine, Ponderosa

by TDUK|04 September 2204 April 24

The wood varies considerably in colour; mature trees have a very thick, pale yellow sapwood, soft, non-resinous, uniform in texture, and similar to yellow pine (P. strobus). The heartwood is much darker, ranging from a deep yellow to a reddish-brown, and is considerably heavier than the sapwood. Resin ducts are...

Meranti, yellow

by TDUK|04 September 2230 April 24

Sapwood lighter in colour and moderately distinct from the heartwood, which is light-yellow-brown, often with a greenish or olive tinge, weathering to a light brown colour; planed surfaces without lustre, faint stripe figure on radial surfaces. The texture is moderately fine or moderately coarse but even, and the grain is...

Meranti, light red

by TDUK|04 September 2230 April 24

Sapwood lighter-coloured and usually distinct from the heartwood which is light-red or pinkish-brown; planed surfaces fairly lustrous, stripe figure on radial surfaces, with subtle, but attractive speckles caused by the rays. Texture rather coarse, but even, grain interlocked and wavy. Resin canals which may, or may not be plugged with...

Meranti, Dark Red

by TDUK|04 September 2230 April 24

Sapwood lighter in colour and distinct from the heartwood which is red-brown darkening to a dark red; planed surfaces fairly lustrous, stripe figure on radial surfaces. Grey-coloured narrow streaks are often present on all longitudinal surfaces, caused by concentric layers of resin canals. The texture is rather coarse but even,...
