Appearance

Hoop pine is a straight grained wood, evenly textured and very fine. The growth rings are not distinct, but they are visible, and the figure is mottled and plain. The heartwood ranges from light yellow brown to pale cream, and although there is little difference in colour between the heartwood and the sapwood, the heartwood is a little darker. Sapwood 7.5 - 15mm wide is often flecked and light brown in colour.
Common Applications

When treated with preservatives hoop pine is suitable for outdoor uses such as fencing, pergolas, landscaping, retaining walls, and playground equipment. The timber is also used for general construction purposes, flooring, joinery, shelving and cupboards, furniture, and as plywood. Hoop pine is also popular for a variety of non-architectural and non-building purposes, such as the manufacture of musical instruments, drafting instruments and brushware.
Workability

Hoop pine glues well and can be painted, stained and polished easily. It machines and turns well, but is not suitable for steam bending. It can be used with standard fittings and fastenings.

Thank you brother. I pinched the idea some years back from Becksvoort. He build the cabinet to house Lie Nielsens tools which was then selling for a whopping $10,000. Luckily someone took several photographs of it and I just copied it. I'm starting very soon to build an 18th century tool chest which will replace that cabinet.

I had a look at this today while picking up the birch and beech and it is a great bit of timber... I really have no where to put it but I'm like this close buying it and then trying to hide it under the dining table. .

I'd be interested but need to ask a few questions first, is the 500 mm measurement the widest point or the smallest and is it a consistent 45mm thick. Also just to clarify is it 500mm across its entire length

500 one side and the other 420 and its thickness of 45 is common throughout
just so you know that I paid $150 back in 2010. It’s worth a lot more than what I’m offering.

I'll need to pass on it, has to be no less 500 end to end.
