About Knotty Pine
Knotty Pine works easily with both hand and power tools. The closed grain takes glues and finishes well—you can also choose to fill any voids, knots, or splits with epoxy or super glue. While you can fill and paint for an amazing lightweight body, we appreciate it's bold character and often just use clear lacquer to seal it and wire it up!
These expertly joined one or two-piece blanks are thickness-sanded, and ready for bandsawing and routing in your shop.
