I asked my furniture making friend about the wood and here is his reply.....
"Oh I have worked with a lot of heart pine, it has to be “baked” , you need to get it to 160 degrees to set the resin, and it can be quite unstable unless that is done, but it has to be dried first , also when you have all that resin it is quite flammable .. go easy"
I went back to my hardwood dealer with a couple pieces and they said they will take it back. They're a good outfit.
