Pine(Pinus) belongs to the family of trees known as conifers. Conifers are a group of cone-bearing seed plants. The leaves of pine are thin and have a needle-like appearance. It is usually found in a variety of locations in Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe.
Pine trees are evergreen. Pine would be considered softwood. That means it is softer than hardwood, but this does not mean that it is weaker than hardwood. Pines are long-lived; they typically reach ages of 100-1,000 years, depending on their location and atmosphere.
There are more than 126 classified species of pine. Almost all species of pine are close to each other. They differ slightly in properties of color, hardness, workability, and rot resistance. They are used based on their properties.
Pine Wood is known for its availability, durability, workability, and great appearance. Its sapwood is yellowish-white to reddish-white, and the heartwood is reddish-brown in color.
PINE WOOD USE
Pine Wood is a great choice for furniture projects. It is known for stiffness and resistance to shock. Many cabinetmakers prefer to use knotty pine wood and plywood. However, It can be a bit expensive compared to plywood.
Toughness, attractive color, shock resistance and fine grain are essential for quality furniture. All these qualities are found in pine wood. However, some pine species are not considered suitable for furniture. But most pines are suitable.
Being a softwood, Pine wood is very easy to work with. Therefore, it is considered suitable for window and door frames, baseboards, cabinet trim, chair rails, and picture frames.
It is very important to have great workability of wood for moldings and trimming because small hand tools and machinery are used for this, which is usually a little hard to do with other hardwood.
Generally, most people prefer to use hardwood for flooring. But pressure-treated cedar wood can also be an economical option. If it is taken regular care of, its lifespan can be around 15 years or even more.
The decking is constantly exposed to weather and soil. In this case, it is also very important to have wood rot and decay resistance. Pines do not have very good insect- or decay-resistant qualities after logging. So, pressure-treated pine is a better choice for outdoor wooden projects.
Pressure-treated pine has many benefits; it is more moisture-resistant, fungus-resistant, insect-resistant, fire-resistant, and more durable than ordinary pine wood. Its price is slightly higher than ordinary pine but is less than many other hardwoods.
Many dwarfs and beautiful pine species are used as ornamental trees in parks and larger gardens. Pines are also commercially grown and harvested for Christmas trees in many countries.
Some species of pine trees give a large number of seeds, which are called "pine nuts". It is available in the market for cooking and baking.
Light-weight wood has good workability properties. It can be easily moved from one place to another, and it can be easily worked with at high altitudes.
If we talk about Eastern White Pine, it weighs about 25 lbs / ft3 (400 kg / m3), and Southern yellow pine, about 41 lbs / ft3 (650 kg / m3), which is less than many other softwoods and hardwoods.
Many woodworkers prefer pine because of its good workability. Because pine wood projects are finished so quickly, they are easy to work with both hand and machine tools. It glues and finishes well.
If you work with pine, there is no need for pre-drilling for nail and screw placement, which saves a lot of time on a large project. Many woodworkers say that they do not have to constantly change blades when working on pine wood, which saves them a lot of time.
Many people have misconceptions that softwood is less durable than hardwood. But this is not completely correct. Since any wood is softwood or hardwood, you cannot predict its durability.
Pine wood has good durability, but it also depends on its use. Pine wood is not suitable for outdoor use. But still, if you want to use pine for outdoor applications, always choose pressure-treated pine because of its other great quality.
Pine has a light color with a medium texture and a closed grain. Because of its light hue, it easily absorbs stains, allowing you to achieve any desired color. Additionally, pine tends to darken over time.
Pine is an inexpensive softwood, available at a lower price than many other softwoods and hardwoods on the market. There are several reasons for the low price of wood, such as high availability and fast growth. The price of exporting other rare woods from one country to another increases.
Pine wood is mainly found in northern, central, and eastern Europe, but many species of trees are grown in many other places. Red pine and Australian pine are fast-growing trees, with a growth rate of about 1-2 feet per year, so their needs can be easily met.
After all, pine is a softwood, so it also has some of the disadvantages of softwood, such as being easily scratched and dented. In comparison, most hardwoods are less prone to scratches and dents.
There are many reasons for having Scratches and Dents. But the main reason is low hardness; the hardness of the wood of the pines is not very much. For example, Eastern white pine has 380 lbf (1,690 N), and Southern yellow pine has 870 lbf (4,120 N) Janka hardness, which is not enough to withstand dents and scratches.
Most of the wood in the pines is defective because it is easy to rot.
Pine wood has a tendency to warp and shrink, especially when exposed to changes in humidity or temperature.
Pine wood requires more regular care than hardwood. It cannot withstand moisture for long periods. If any part is rotting, remove it immediately and use oil and wax regularly.
