Tallest of the pines, Sugar pine is moderately strong and soft with fairly uniform texture. Sapwood is creamy white, heartwood darkens to a light brown and is occasionally red tinged. Resin canals appear as dark streaks. It has good dimensional stability, no taste, and only a faint odour. Used for general joinery, foundry patterns, boxes and crates. Available separately but also marketed and sold as part of the Western Woods species combination.
