In Response To: Re: Material: Using old pine for SOF? (Marc Upchurch)

: So what is the difference and how will it affect the build?

Generally from my experience eastern white pine is lighter, easier to work and less effected by moisture and temperature change than it's western cousin. You need to use caution with the published specs for "white pine" such as to weight, western white pine can be as much as 20% heavier.
