Pine Clears

“Clear pine” typically refers to pine timber that is free of knots, defects, or other imperfections, resulting in a clear and uniform appearance. It’s often sought after for its clean, smooth surface, making it ideal for applications where a pristine finish is desired, such as furniture making, cabinetry, trim work, and panelling. Clear pine is usually sourced from the heartwood of the pine tree, which tends to have fewer knots and a more consistent grain pattern compared to the outer sapwood. The absence of knots and defects not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the wood but also makes it easier to work with, as there are fewer interruptions in the surface when cutting, sanding, or finishing. While clear pine is typically more expensive than standard pine timber with knots and imperfections, its premium appearance and quality make it worth the investment for certain projects where visual appeal is paramount. It’s important to note that “clear” doesn’t necessarily mean completely free of any marks or variations; some minor blemishes may still be present, but they are generally minimal and do not detract from the overall quality and appearance of the wood.

Applications. Clear Pine is suitable for use as mouldings, decorative trim, panelling, internal joinery, cladding, toy making and numerous other DIY projects.
