White pine grows from Newfoundland through the Great Lakes region, Minnesota to Manitoba, and south along the Mississippi Basin to the Appalachian Mountains. It is a fast-growing softwood tree, used for roughing lumber and furniture work, and it is the most common tree for sailing ship masts.

Pine has a clear, white coloring when first cut that darkens to a deep golden orange tone with age. It has wide grain lines with heavy sap areas in the multiple knotholes.
