Name this wood? :)

Find a bare area and smell it. Pine and cedar have very distinct smells along with other types of wood. YMMV.

Cedar. Stringy fibers at end cut.

Good point!

I agree with all of the cedar comments

 

[InPrimer]

bring it to a lumber yard they should know.

looks like cedar. Cedar is lighter in weight that pine. I've nailed up miles of 1X6 T&G of that stuff. Like the guys said, smell it, it'll tell ya.

A nice piece of Ash is a treasure to hold, too bad you don't have one.

 

[Falcon67]

Oh yea, a nice piece of ash is great...

Not ash. Ash looks almost like oak and is hard to tell from oak.

Looks like pine to me

From another site, they are showing cedar shiplap. Looks to be about the same grain as yours. If not cedar, I would say pine. Here is the site with a few pics http://www.buffalo-lumber.com/siding-patterns.htm

I thought Buford Pusser said that.

as a lumber buyer / wood floor maker, I'd say pine, wholesale value, around a buck a BF

I didn't get the Buford Pusser reference?

 

[Kriilin]

If you get splinters from looking at it, it's fir, otherwise pine

 

[c39er]

It's cedar.
