Back in the 50,s my father built a cottage on lake Puckaway in Wisconsin. I
remember the beautiful knotty pine walls(t&g) with the varnish finish. Lots
of knots and a reddish yellow tint. It was something I have never seen
again. It was truly some of the most beautiful wood I have ever seen.

That's why they call it KNOTTY pine.
WTF did you use knotty pine for if it's knot what you wanted.

Actually, the number and size of knots differs in the wood often found
today
than it was 50 years ago on older growth trees.

Not quite true. The trees haven't changed - what we are willing to
settle for has. As long as they send the good lumber overseas to people
who won't settle for crap, we'll continue to get the leftovers here.
