Soft Lumber Wood

Trade Name                  :           Soft Lumber (Pine)Family                          :           PinaceaeTimber Classification   :           soft hardwood Species :                     Pinus amamiana( Yakushima White Pine)                     Pinus armandii(Chinese White Pine )                     Pinus bhutanica ( Bhutan White Pine )                     Pinus bungeana (Lacebark Pine) from Asia. A pine is a coniferous trees                           in the genus Pinus                     in the family Pinaceae. There are about 115 species of pines worldwide                     although different authorities accept between 105 and 125 species. Pines are native to most of the Northern Hemisphere.Wood Density               :           350-500 kg m3.Strength Grouping       :           S. G. 5Uses : Pines are among the most commercially important of tree species, valued for their timber and wood pulp throughout the world. Pine wood is widely used in high-value carpentry items such as furniture, window frames, paneling, floors and roofing. These woods are extensively used for carpentry work and making furniture, false ceiling, flooring and wall paneling. To make these woods termite resistant, we treat these woods with special chemicals and market these at competitive prices.Distribution: Pines are native to most of the Northern Hemisphere.In Eurasia, they range from the Canary Islands, Iberian Peninsula and Scotland east to the Russian Far East.Major producing states: Wide range of Indian(Himachal) Pine Woods and also the woods procured from New Zealand. Wood Characteristics: Pines grow well in acid soils, some also on calcareous soils; most require good soil drainage, preferring sandy soils, but a few (e.g. Lodgepole Pine) will tolerate poorly drained wet soils. A few are able to sprout after forest fires (e.g. Canary Island Pine). Some species of pines (e.g. Bishop Pine) need fire to regenerate, and their populations slowly decline under fire suppression regimes. Several species are adapted to extreme conditions imposed by elevation and latitude.
