Eastern White Pine

Kiln-dried woods & exotics

Eastern White Pine

Also known as Northern White Pine, Pinus strobus.

Pinus strobus (Pinaceae) · Northeastern North America

Eastern White Pine is New England's building wood — light, soft, stable, and endlessly workable. Its low shrinkage and calm, even grain have made it the traditional choice for trim, paneling, and painted furniture for centuries, and it is still one of the easiest woods to work by hand.

We carry it in a range of grades, from clear stock for fine millwork to knotty boards for that warm, character paneling look. It ages to a lovely honey color under a clear finish and takes paint beautifully. As a locally sawn softwood, it is one of our best values — ask us about widths, grades, and pattern stock.

Appearance

Color. Creamy white to light straw, aging to a warm honey brown.

Grain. Straight and even.

Texture. Even, medium texture with small tight knots in common grades.

Working & finishing

Exceptionally easy to work — cuts, planes, and nails with almost no resistance. Soft enough to dent, so sharp tools and a light touch keep edges crisp. Takes paint and stain well.

Drying. Dries quickly and easily with excellent stability and very low shrinkage.

Durability

Non-durable in ground contact; stable and long-lived indoors and under paint.

Eastern White Pine reviews

I have a custom Cabinetry and Woodworking shop in Clermont NY. I always have a need for both exotic hardwoods and local woods. I have been going to Ghent Wood Products for over 10 years now. They have always been there for me. "I need this and this next week" they have it for me. When I need milling that requires more than my equipment can handle I just call Tom or Marie and they say "sure we can handle that". I have recommended them to all of the contractors I work with (mostly from Dutchess County) and we all use Ghent Wood Products because they're great. They are all just good people working together with us like a team.
