Great example .... this is why I reclaim most old lumber I find in an old house. Pine from a 100 year old even a 50 or 60 year old house looks like the one in the bottom while pine from a house from 20 years ago and earlier looks like the one above.
The new lumber is good firewood ... it makes excellent fire starter and kindling because it burns like paper ... a scary thought is that this is the kind of wood that makes up modern houses ... we are all living in fire starter. And every time I expose this new lumber, about half the time, parts of it already started to wet rot, dry rot or are infected with insects or disease.
The old lumber that is 100 years old can still be planed, shaped and used to make furniture or woodworking projects.
