Just a quick word on 'big box store' pine boards/pine trim.
This so called pine is plantation grown and is called Radada Pine. The stuff is crap. Just look at the space between the growth rings. There is a significant difference in density across the face of the boards so they don't stain well and painting requires multiple coats of primer to obtain a decent finish. It also doesn't machine and sand well.
