Pine

From Apply Now, About.com Guide

Definition: Pine is a soft, light colored wood, with a visible striation pattern. It is not as durable as hard woods, but is often used for informal pieces for children's rooms, family rooms, and other casual settings. Furniture and flooring has been made of pine through the years and old pieces and planks are being resurrected for modern use.
