Why Knotty Pine? Knotty Pine, scientifically known as Pinus monticola (Idaho Pine, Mountain Pine, Silver Pine), is primarily sourced from Western Canada and the USA. It isn't confined to one location and can be harvested from various regions. However, it's crucial to harvest Knotty Pine in late or winter months to avoid sap running, which can lead to blue staining on the wood.
