Also known as Eastern White Pine, the heartwood is a pale straw colour to light reddish-brown shade, usually little darker than the whitish sapwood.  It is a soft, straight-grained and very even textured wood with inconspicuous growth rings.  Second-growth timber is of a coarser texture and tends to be knotty.  This is a highly stable timber with very low shrinkage, although it can pick up and give off moisture.
