TIMBERS

Pine wood is orange to reddish-brown in colour and resinous. The growth rings are clearly marked by the contrast between the light earlywood and darker, more dense latewood, giving a coarse texture, especially in rapid grown timber.

Pine is used for heavy construction work, lorry and railway waggons, shipbuilding, masts, exterior finish, flooring, lower density grades are used for joinery, light construction, boxes, crates, pallets etc.
