That tree was definitely a slow grower in its early years. That's gonna make some rightly hard lumber!

very similar to our Missouri pine, it is nice to see tight rings, here is a few pics of some Ozark pine


  

  
They make some great lumber for sure, care must still be taken in stresses to ensure straightness.
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Loblolly, or standard shortleaf pine.  Definitely not long leaf.  These logs came out of a mixed stand of pine and hardwoods. I went back and counted 68 rings on this log, and it's probably 15" or 17" across the stump.  Not a very big tree either.

Since it was so slow growing, I figured Shortleaf.

Some real nice ring growth on these, notice the darker color on the outer,  half frozen logs at its finest, but nice tight rings,

That's what I want when I look for logs!  But most of the time I settle for whatever I can get! 
Rings like that make the BEST lumber, hands down.

Pretty fine lumber for certain, but a pain to saw without them going haywire! ;D  plenty more for now, just need some more DST ;D and a good back!

Nice looking logs, for sure... but does anyone pay a premium for the lumber?

Premium might be a relative term in regards to pine around here, there are a few factors that raise the price, such as width and  character or lack of it, it surely does not bring prices like many of the finer hardwoods,

Around here the one pine mill that stick scales will deduct for wide growth rings, but not pay a premium for tight rings like that.  What I find ironic is that the trend to faster growing, "improved" plantation pine is all the rage around here now, so what does that mean for the future?

If I quartersaw the really tight grained logs, I can sell the lumber for more for table tops.  Farm tables are all the rage now.  Solid wood top, natural or stained, with a white painted aprons and legs.  I plane out the lumber at a full 1" thick after kiln drying to 8%.
