I'm looking for a quantity (about 30 sqyd)
of Oregon or yellow pine planking
"yellow pine" can mean anything from Quebec Yellow (a cheese-like timber
used for woodcarving) to Southern Yellow, which is hard and resinous. IIRC
Oregon pine is rather like Douglas Fir in appearance. Reddish with a flowery
grain? Can you mark it with your thumbnail?
There's a long tradition in the industry of calling softwoods anything you
damned well please. I mean, "Scots pine" for chrissake.
