Where I work sells Radiata Pine in 1X 4, 6, & 8"...   It comes from our supplier (Woodstock Supply) out of Rapid City, SD...  I'm sure they would have more information on this stuff then I do.  It is my understanding that this Radiata Pine is a "replacement" pine for the #1 pine (no knots).  The folks that have used this seem to really like it, and I agree that the grain looks good and straight, and this isn't a soft pine, IMHO... :)

El Destructo:
They are using it to replant Old Growth that is cut down...because it grows fast and straight....seems to be good arrow wood
