Pine
Pinewood is a coniferous kind of wood that is usually found in northern and eastern Europe, as well as America, Mexico, and Canada. It is an extremely popular choice of material for a variety of woodwork, depending on the type.
Kamsource supplies four different varieties of Pinewood, namely – Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF), Southern Yellow Pine (SYP), Elliotis Pine, and Elliotis Pine
SPF
SPF (spruce-pine-fir) is the name given to a combination of spruces, pines, and firs that share similar characteristics and are found throughout the forests of Canada. SPF’s high fiber strength, lightweight, and easy workability make it an excellent choice for house construction, trusses, and home projects.
Our SPF dimension lumber is kiln-dried to make it straight and dimensionally stable. Its clean, white appearance and small knots create an attractive look for your interior projects.
SYP
Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) is a designated group of four species (Shortleaf, Slash, Longleaf, Loblolly) growing in the Southern United States. They are difficult to differentiate; hence, they are grouped together. All of the Southern Yellow Pines are hard, dense woods. Resin content is high, giving them a distinct odor.
The grain is generally straight with a fine to medium texture. SYP works well with hand and power tools, and given its density and high strength, it is the ultimate wood for general construction. It is utilized in house construction, timber framing, bridges, and the like. It’s also an excellent choice for flooring. For furniture, this species is underutilized. Most often, it’s used as a secondary wood.
Elliotis pine
PinusElliottii, commonly known as Elliotis pine or slash pine, is a medium to large coniferous tree native to the southern United States and is one of three southern yellow pines. A mature tree can reach 100 ft and can live for up to 200 years. The slash pine is often mistaken for Pinustaeda (loblolly pine) but can be differentiated by needle abundance and length, cones, and bark.
Elliotit’s durable and hardwood is an important source of timber in the United States and is used for construction. A large amount of resin it produces is used to produce turpentine and rosin. The fast-growing, hardy tree is also a preferred species for reforestation projects and timber plantations. Its IUCN Red List status is “lower risk/least concern.”
Taeda Pine
Pinustaeda, commonly called Loblolly pine, is a fast-growing, medium to tall conifer that is common to the southeastern U.S., where it typically grows from sea level to 2400 inches in a variety of conditions ranging from poorly-drained low wet areas, bottomland forests, and flatlands to well-drained upland soils.
It is native from southern New Jersey to Florida and west to eastern Texas. It sometimes grows in pure stands. It typically grows to 40-50 inches in cultivation but may reach 90 inches tall or more in the wild. This tree is particularly noted for its straight trunk. It loses its lower branches as it matures, gradually developing a dense oval-rounded crown. Dark yellow-green needles (5-10 inches long) in bundles of three (infrequently in bundles of two) are finely-toothed, stiff, and slender. Stalkless, oval-cylindrical cones (3-6 inches long) with sharply-spined scales appear in groups of 2-5. Scaly gray bark develops furrows with age. This is an important timber tree whose wood is used for pulp, plywood, and general construction.
