This wood is from a tree that was in my front yard and had to be removed because it was growing through the power lines. The tree had been topped so many times that the branches were a bizarre maze that defied any logical way to be trimmed again and still resemble anything but a Dr. Sues creation. I really don't know what type of pine it is and have just settled on what many locals call it. I wouldn't have thought to mill it except that I needed a bit of paint grade wood for some moldings in my house. The wood is of surprising quality. it is relatively free of pitch, even textured and the knots seem to be sound. I don't expect to make any furniture out of this but it could be used for an informal piece or as a secondary wood.
