Looks like the end of a common everyday pine 2×4

yeah pretty new, one easy way to tell with pine lumber is to look at the width of the grain, tighter narrower bands typically means older wood.

Worked in a lumberyard in the '70's. Looks to be at least that old, because the early '80s is when you could see the grain widening and the wood being softer because of genetically grown tree's.
