Actually... that table I gave you does have Southern Yellow Pine on it.

There are several different tree species that are considered Southern Yellow Pine. The table gets specific about each individual species.

Here is another document that discusses the issue.

You probably can contact your wood supplier to find out exactly what species they have available.

Hope this helps.
