Beautiful Pine Dining Room
Knotty pine wood paneling has never gone out of style! Log cabin owners overwhelmingly choose Knotty Pine paneling or logs for their interior walls. This blog concentrates on paneling because it’s a perennial favorite for log cabins, log homes, “tiny” houses, and many conventional homes. The richness of the colors, mineral streaks, and knots give this choice of wood a rustic and relaxing charm that nothing else can match.
Knotty Pine wood is also used for trim, molding, furniture, flooring, and decking. This versatile natural product is ideal to adorn your cabin’s walls and ceilings. It seems to never go out of style no matter where you live in the U.S. or Europe. Many residents of other countries are adopting the Knotty Pine paneling and log cabin concept into their building plans.
Knotty Pine Got a Boost in the 1940s
Beautiful Interior Pine Siding
Woodworking history reveals that Pickwick Pine was the most common profile of Knotty Pine paneling in the 1940s and 1950s. Those of us who are old enough may remember our parents’, grandparents’, or other relatives’ homes with vertical Pine panels on their walls and they loved it! Back then, as now, you could get the panels with tongue and groove features for fast and easy installation.
Most of the panels during this time were wide ones from 7” to 9” wide. You can buy them in widths from 4” to 10” to suit your fancy.
Why It’s Still Popular Today
Knotty Pine is still popular today, and for log cabin owners it’s used more now than ever before. The major reasons for its longevity and popularity include:
- Pine is a sustainable wood that is grown on tree farms, and because of this, it will be around for many years to come.
- It is perhaps the most affordable wood in today’s market.
- Pine’s visual appearance is charming and fits into a log cabin’s rustic atmosphere.
- It is a durable wood that can be sealed and protected from the elements.
- Pine is lightweight and easy to work with including sawing, drilling, sanding, installing, staining, and finishing.
High-quality Knotty Pine is readily available in its many forms and sizes for your use, and what’s more, it’s affordable.
Tongue and Groove Paneling Makes It Easy to Install
Before Pine Paneling
After a Pine Overhaul
The wood products industry got smart when it introduced tongue and groove features for Pine and Cedar paneling. The Woodworkers Shoppe improved upon this benefit by adding end-matching to all its paneling. This unique and revolutionary design allows panels to fit securely together anywhere on or between studs. You no longer need to splice or end-butt boards together on studs.
Save up to 20% in measuring, sawing, and installing time and up to 20% in wasted material with this amazing material. Don’t settle for the old-style long boards that are not tongue and groove when you can get the highest-quality tongue and groove panels at affordable prices. They are available in unfinished and pre-finished pieces to meet your preferences and building time frame. It may surprise you to see how many stain colors are available from our inventory.
Three Favorite Layout Patterns
Grace the walls of your cabin with one or more of three favorite paneling layouts, including:
- Horizontal
- Vertical
- Diagonal

Knotty Pine Paneling Diagonal and Horizontal Pattern
The tongue and groove with the end-matching system makes it easier than ever to install any of the three styles, especially the diagonally placed panels. Use a nail gun and the appropriately sized nails for a perfect fit on any wall.
Panels can also be installed over existing drywall by adjusting the depths of light switches and outlets in the walls. You will likely need to remove door and window casings, ceiling trim and baseboards and replace them over the paneling. All this effort will be worth it once you stand back and admire your work or that of another installer. Installing Knotty Pine paneling can easily be done by homeowners who have essential woodworking skills and tools.
