Hi there,
I bought two 3"x8"x12' planks from a builder a little while ago and am planning to make some end tables with them but I'd like to know a bit more about the wood itself. It looks a lot like a type of pine, but is stronger than white pine from a box store. Doing a fingernail test I can only just make a mark in the wood and it seems to be around the same as maple in terms of hand planing difficulty.
Have attached pictures, any help would be much appreciated!
