Pine (Southern Yellow)
Softwood used for structural framing, decking and general building work. Southern yellow pine is a commercial group rather than one species, and its high resin content makes it markedly denser and stronger than eastern white pine.

Practical notes
- Density is for air-dried stock at about 12% moisture content
- Eastern white pine is about 0.40 g/cm³ — specify the group, not just "pine"
- Weighs far more green; freight estimates must account for moisture
