Yellow Pine Crown Cut

Pinus Echinata Mill.

The sapwood has a color that varies from white to pale yellow to pale orange. The heartwood is fairly well differentiated, since it has a color that varies from orange-red to reddish brown to light brown. The growth rings are visible. The latewood forms very dark bands and the transition from earlywood to latewood is abrupt and sharply contrasted. The wood rays are very fine, not immediately noticeable except when they are included in a transversal pitch streak, forming a patterned surface. The texture of the grain is open (coarse).
