Pine is most commonly used for rough construction such as shipping containers or framing a house. This is a softwood and as such not great for building furniture or other projects meant to last. However, since it is free and in good shape I would use this to build prototypes of your projects, such as a table. This will allow you to practice the cuts, joints and assembly skills and see just how everything works before commiting to more expensive hardwood that is meant to last. I build some kids items from pine, just know it is subject to dents and dings. Free is good!
