Find someone with a portable mill and cut it "through-and-through" in
6/4 and 8/4 slabs. All sorts of uses for nice slabs.

Kinda looks like a red pine. Makes ok lumber, but it's not one of the
better trees for it.

Around here, we'd call it crummy firewood - only good for campfires.

Not sure. The needles are in pairs, small cones in groups. I need to
do more research to ID this pine. Looking at various ways to cut some
slabs to make chair seats, there's more wood here than I need.

Not sure the kind of pine (in east TN). I posted 3 pictures in
A.B.P.W. Hopefully someone can identify it. A good portion of the
bottom is without branches.
Camp fire wood...if you handle it at all be prepared to have your gloves and
possibly your clothing ruined by the sap...lots and lots of sap after that's
gone more sap lolol

Call the turning set over to help dismember. Lumber it won't be if it held
branches all the way down, but turnings and kindling you have in abundance.
Rent a shredder after limbing, and make sure you have long sleeves and
throwaway gloves.
Shallow root systems do that a lot.

Any idea of what kind of pine? One of the white pines would be useful
for much if there is any length w/o large branches.
Don't say where you are, west of the MS pines are very commonly used as
firewood (quite successfully, btw) as there isn't much hardwood.

Sorry, my news server doesn't host binary groups...
If it wasn't a specimen planting, in E TN a goodly bet would be a yellow
pine; if it was, could be quite a number of choices.

Sounds like possibly southern yellow pine - and lumber quality if not
"clear"

Lots of Knotty pine lumber. Or mediocre firewood.
For good (straight pine) lumber you need forest grown pine with long,
straight trunk with no low branches.
