Early 17th century Pine trees in Maine have been harvested since the early 17th century, with the first sawmills established in 1634. The lumber industry flourished, and by 1850, most of the accessible virgin pine was cut. The lumber production peaked in 1909, and the white pine tree was designated as the official state tree in 1945. Today, Maine remains a significant producer of white pine lumber, contributing greatly to the state's
…don’t be too hard on ADC … I’m sure he wasn’t cracking a joke … just a little ignorant when it comes to the invention of pine trees
The photo does have very nice detail but pictures have been digitalized and enhanced for a long time doesnt mean they're fake
True, but the fact that it has a copyright from an artificial intelligence generator in the lower right hand corner, highly suggests that it may, just possibly, be fake.
They had pine boards back long before that time frame of 1950 way back in the 17th century.
Bruce, ADC was joking. There's been pine boards used for building for many thousands of years. The first pine was worked with stone tools.
Scott, don't feel bad for not realizing it's an AI picture. The images were very likely made from data from real, historic pictures. AI is going to keep rapidly getting better. Very soon, without looking at the actual data used to create the picture, decent AI pictures will be indistinguishable from real photographs. Eventually there will be no.way to tell. Please keep up your Old History Photo posts. I enjoy them.

First hand knowledge or something copy and pasted from the computer? Given the technology and infrastructure at the time, I doubt any logging done in the 1600 and 1700's put much of a dent in the supply. I doubt there was much logging done that was over a couple of miles from the mills.
I have nothing clever to put here.
