knotty pine

Rustic wood paneling

Knotty pine is wood from pine trees that retains visible knots—the dark circular marks where branches once grew.

Prized for rustic interiors, it appears in paneling, furniture, and cabin décor: The basement was finished in knotty pine.

The knots give character but make the wood less suitable for structural applications requiring uniform strength.
