Morphology

pinery = pine (semi-transparent) = pine + ery

The derivation from 'pine' is clear, but using '-ery' to denote the timber/material from those trees is a less transparent extension of the place/collective meaning.

Etymology

The word pinery can also mean wood from pine trees; it uses the same parts pine + -ery, and you can think of it as 'pinewood' or timber made of pine. That's why pinery can mean the wood used for building or making furniture.
