furniture making with red pine?

trees of that size will really have fairly poor quality wood for furniture. I would suspect that their have fairly wide growth rings and little heartwood. I would not bother with them personally as the wood probably would not be very stable or have much character.

Probably not worth the trouble. Great to practice turning on though. Just turn those green logs down to mulch! might get a nice bowl or something out of it.

At what size do you think the trees would provide good quality wood. I mentionned 10 inches but might be larger that. The trees are in a plantation so they are pretty straight.

Thanks to both of you
