Pitch pine will hold its pine,y smell for many many decades, i have some 6x6 Pitch pine that is off the old big dipper at Blackpool, and when i cut that it smells wounderfull and does for many wks after cutting it, and they where stood up in the salt air from late 1800s to mid 40s i think when it caught fire, could be Larch as there would of been a lot of Larch being used in boat building back then and the boat builders would reject boards with defects and these would go in to the house building trade,
