Description
Excerpt from The Pine Trees of the Rocky Mountain Region
The wood of limber pine is very narrow-ringed, on account of the slow growth Of the tree, and has only a thin layer of, sapwood, which is nearly white. Freshly cut heartwood is a pale lemon yellow. In texture the wood is rather soft but firm. A cubic foot of dry wood weighs about 27 pounds. Limber pine is occasionally cut for rough construction lumber which is used locally, the quality of the lumber being poor because of numerous knots. The wood is also used locally for fuel and sometimes for rough cabins and mine props.
