Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), the characteristic tree of the southern Interior of British Columbia, is commonly used in kitchen furniture, turnery and doors. It’s also used for light and medium construction, window frames, and interior trim.

Ponderosa pine is marketed on its own primarily as a millwork species under National Lumber Grades Authority (NLGA) grade rules. Clears, shop lumber and moulding stock are most common, though there are many potential appearance grades that can be produced.
