Tell me about it. I was making reproduction early American furniture in
the 1970's and early 80's. I went through thousands and thousands of
pine, mostly C-select or #2, a lot of it directly from the mill. You
could get good wood then, and even "poor" quality had few significant
knots. Today? I wouldn't burn the stuff. I think they threw away the
grading sticks a long time ago.
Where has all the good pine gone? I know a lot of other woods are going
to (guess) China, but what about the pine?
