What pine is like
Pine is a softwood. It is pale, with visible knots, and gives the classic Nordic look.
It is lighter and less expensive than oak or ash. It is also softer, so it marks more easily.
Where it works in hospitality
Pine works best where furniture is used gently or is fixed in place:
- Built-in furniture
- Beds
- Shelving
- Wall panelling
- Furniture components
- Holiday homes and cabins
Where it's not the right choice
Pine is less suited to restaurant chairs and table tops that take heavy daily wear. Being softer, it will show marks sooner than oak or ash. For those pieces, we usually suggest oak or ash.
What we make in pine
We can make pine beds, shelving, wall panelling, built-in furniture and furniture components, to your drawings.
We recently made pine furniture components for a set of 8 holiday apartments.
Sourcing
All the timber we buy is FSC-certified, and we hold FSC Chain of Custody certification (FSC-C190674), so the FSC claim can be stated on your invoice.
Oak and ash are the core of what we make. See our oak vs ash guide.
