I wrote a reply to this thread a few days ago, but can't see it - the aether must have swollowed it!.
Simply Pine, maybe not, no Pine I've ever met looked like that. Too many knots too close together, or maybe it's an old Christmas tree.
Truthfully it looks a lot like Laylandii, something a friend turns from time to time, okay it's still a soft wood but I find it suprising that something that can look like this is so rearly turned here in the UK.
