Western White Pine
Western White Pine grows up to 60 meters high and 2 meters in diameter. Western White Pine constitutes only 0.1% of British Columbia’s total growing stock.
It is sawn into 8/4, 6/4, 5/4 and 4/4 lumber, which is then kiln dried and mainly used in furniture, mouldings, boxes and pattern stock. Tight Knot grades are often used for knotty panelling and rustic furniture. The high-grade lumber is used in applications such as clear finish furniture and millwork.
Benefits of using Western White Pine:
- Most popular use is for furniture and mouldings/millwork
- Excellent for machinists to shape into furniture and panelling
- Fine, straight grain
- Small tight knots
- Pale color makes for excellent finishing uses
- Kiln-dried pine remains straight even after years of use
