Common Uses
Used for interior trim, baseboard, casing, shelving, furniture, wainscoting, and general woodworking. Pine is the default wood for most residential interior carpentry in Canada.
Pro Tips
- Seal knots with shellac-based primer (Zinsser BIN) before painting. Pine knots bleed through standard latex primers and paints.
- For stained pine, apply a pre-stain wood conditioner first to reduce blotchy absorption.
- If you want a smooth, knot-free painted finish, consider hemlock or poplar instead -- both available at Windsor Plywood.
Frequently Asked Questions
What grade should I use for trim?
Clear or select grades for stained/clear finish applications. Common grades have more knots -- desirable for rustic interiors, more affordable for painted work.
Does pine dent easily?
Yes. Pine is a softwood, not ideal for high-impact surfaces. Best for trim, shelving, and furniture.
