When making your own furniture and accessories, especially if you are a beginner woodworker or not yet fully confident with your skills, working with SA pine is going to be your choice of wood, unless you are prepared to fork out for Meranti or a more expensive hardwood species.
Even if you do buy expensive hardwoods, there's no guarantee that you won't come across knots in the wood, no matter what type of wood you purchase.
Pine, unfortunately, while easy to work with and reasonably inexpensive, comes with its own unique problems, the most common of which is knots in the wood. When selecting pieces for your project you will obviously want to try to choose the best pieces, but sometimes you have no option but to take home a piece that has a knot or two. If your pine planks or laminated sheets have knots, these need to be treated to prevent them spoiling your project.
