I don't use much pine in my shop. I am not a fan of it. But I keep a board or two for painting, testing cuts, etc. The other day I reached for this board and noticed what appears to be birds eye all over it. I have never came across this before. Anyone here seen this before? Is is rare for white pine to have these? I did a google search but really didn't come up with much. I though it might look nice in a jewlery box or something.

Yep. I have about 1500+ bf of it. I've used it for all my shop cabinets too, and several other projects.
