That was good stuff for sure. But you are underestimating how good pine still is for trim work. All of the trim on my 1961 built house is pine. I've replaced one short piece of fascia. A common trim material in my area these days is finger jointed pre-primed pine. I put it on my solar drier a few years ago; didn't even bother to paint it besides sealing the cut ends. Still looks fine. I built the doors for my shed out of white ash because that's what I had on hand. Ash is one of the poorest woods you could choose for exterior work. But several years later they still look new. Why? Primer and paint.Originally Posted by Mike Hollingsworth
Most any wood will last a very long time if it's not subjected to standing water and you keep it painted. My two cents.
