Southern yellow pine

Western United States

Jeffrey pine wood and ponderosa pine wood are sold together as yellow pine. Both kinds of wood are hard (with a Janka hardness of 550 lbf (2,400 N)), but the western yellow pine wood is less dense than southern yellow pine wood (28 lb/cu ft (0.45 g/cm) versus 35 lb/cu ft (0.56 g/cm) for shortleaf pine).
