pinus lambertiana : Read of lots of whats being cut and milled but no mention of this one.
One of my many passions associated with timber is "heritage timbers ".
One of several timbers that was imported here and used extensively as lining boards and interiior trim .church pews was Sugar pine.With out going into the pros and cons of deforestation, I am wandering is there much available ? Is it a protected species ? Are wind blown stocks still avail ?Do any of you guys ,in the states ,come across it.Was never considered a high end timber over here .But it is considered a Heritage furniture timber now.
Many thanks ,for any feedback you can give.
