>Hi Jim
We have both here plus a third called Hoop Pine, that all seem to be from the same family, but with some differences.
NIP, you are already familiar with.
CIP, is similar, except that there is heartwood that is brown surrounded by a red ring. I don't know if you can see it in my pic or not.
HP is similar to NIP, but the wood is a tighter grain and won't spalt like the NIP will.The branches and resulting knots are also of considerably larger dia. then on the other two trees. I tell people that is would be more suited for lumber than NIP, or CIP would be. All three turn well and throw a lot of stinky water when fresh cut.
Aloha, Doug
