Chilean Wood (Radiata Pine, Monterey Pine, Insignis Pine)
Heartwood is light brown, wide sapwood is a paler yellowish white, and is distinct from the heartwood. Radiata Pine lumber is plantation-grown, and generally has very wide growth rings and is knot-free.
Overview
In the southern hemisphere, where pines are to a large extent absent, Radiata Pine is the most commonly planted and cultivated pine. It is valued on plantations for its fast growth and utility as both a source of construction lumber as well as wood pulp in the paper industry.
Main Uses
Veneer, plywood, paper (pulpwood), boxes/crates, and construction lumber.
Working Properties
Radiata Pine works well with both hand and machine tools. Glues and finishes well.
