EWP GRADES: SELECTS
Selects:
Direct from our mills, this is
actually a C-select grade,
which is the highest NELMA
pine grade. While many of the
pieces are clear, the grade does
allow one sound, tight, pin knot
(max 1/2”) per 4 surface feet.
This grade is used for natural or
stained finish, fine woodworking or interior trim. It is used for
high quality interior/exterior
trim & cabinet work.
Five layers of a select board
pack are shown to reflect the
scope of the grade.
23
EWP GRADES: FINISH/DFR
Finish/DFR:
Commonly referred to as DFR by the
mills, this is a finish and better product.
All defects allowed in FINISH are also
allowed in DFR; the only difference is
the knot limitations. The maximum red
knot shall not exceed the allowable
black knot sizes in each width. Take
advantage of this grade and its natural
characteristics with a natural finish– or,
paint the surface. Boards can be
applied in both exterior and interior
spaces.
Five layers of a finish board pack are
shown to reflect the scope of the grade.
24
EWP GRADES: PREMIUM
Premium:
Premium is a good appearance
knotty grade. The grade tends to
have more red knotted wood. Product is used where a more natural
effect is desired; common use for
this grade would be interior pattern.
This is an appearance grade board
characterized by sound tight red
knots.
Often used for interior/exterior trim,
paneling, flooring, and furniture.
Five layers of a premium board pack
are shown to reflect the scope of
the grade.
25
EWP GRADES: USPR
USPR:
USPR combines the best characteristics of both Standard and
Premium grade. It is used for trim
work, exterior siding and a wide
variety of interior patterns. This is
a great all-purpose board, showing both black and red knots while
having no holes or wane.
Five layers of an USPR board pack
are shown to reflect the scope of
the grade.
26
EWP GRADES: STANDARD
Standard:
Standard is a general utility
grade used for construction and
industrial purposes, but is also
popular for rustic décor. This is a
versatile rustic board with a
variety of natural characteristics,
adding rustic charm to any
setting.
Used primarily for wall paneling,
it has other uses in general
construction.
Five layers of a standard board
pack are shown to reflect the
scope of the grade.
27
EWP GRADES: INDUSTRIAL
Industrial:
Industrial grade is a utility board
that is lightweight and strong,
most often used in packaging
applications. Because of its
natural resistance to decay, it is
often used for exterior sheathing.
Five layers of an industrial board
pack are shown to reflect the
scope of the grade.

PRE-FINISHING SOLUTIONS
The pre-finishing process. Hancock Lumber’s pre-finishing solution center specializes in the finishing of Eastern White Pine.
Engineered for the unique needs of EWP, the equipment specialization includes: the coatings, the coatings application method and more specifically the
coatings drying process. During the process, the ovens—and therefore the wood— never exceed 100 degrees. This is especially important for Eastern
White Pine where hot ovens make pitch turn into liquid and bleed. The facility ensures paint dries very slowly and is not cooked.
To start, all four sides of the board are sealed with BIN. BIN is a white pigmented shellac that has a very good history at retarding the natural pitch that
occurs in pine knots. The BIN cures for 8-12 hours.
From there, the wood is brought to the oil based priming line where it is sprayed and put on drying racks with an automated machine called a stacker. The
combination of the oil primer spray application and the automated stacker ensures that the boards have no finger prints or drips and minimal rack marks.
This pre-finishing solutions center is the only company to apply oil primer this way.
The second coat is a 100% acrylic primer, topcoat hybrid that is engineered to work with the oil primer. It is designed to be durable enough after installation
to last for months before a field coat needs to be applied (as long as end cuts and nail holes are sealed upon installation). This part of the process is started
by first lightly buffing the material to take down any fuzzed up grain from the oil prime coat. The facility sprays the top and edges prior to entering the first
oven. The board exits oven one, is turned over and the process is repeated on the other face of the board. This completed process gives the builder
a completely reversible product with little or no difference from front to back.

Working with
Eastern White Pine
Siding & Trim
Application, Priming, Nailing & Pattern Selection
35
Painted or poly’d, Eastern White Pine (EWP) is an
excellent wood for siding and trim, both exterior and
interior. It’s easy to work with and readily available
from Hancock Lumber thanks to our three fully
modern sawmills in Bethel, Casco, and Pittsfield,
Maine where we produce more high quality EWP
boards than any other company.
Working with any quality material requires some
expert knowledge and experience. When you’re
working with EWP, there are a few simple steps
you should take.
Managing moisture content
to ensure a first quality job.
All wood shrinks and swells with changes in
moisture content. Even after an Eastern White Pine
board has been expertly kiln dried at our sawmill, it
continues to be affected by ambient humidity. That’s
why it’s very important to minimize any dimensional
change after installation by installing siding or trim at
a moisture content that matches the local climate as
closely as possible.
For example, if the climate in a particular region
causes wood to maintain 8% to 13% moisture
content annually, the ideal approach is to install the
woodwork with moisture content within that range.
Here’s the trick on acclimating
Eastern White Pine.
All it takes is a bit of patience and knowing to order
materials so they are on-site at least one week
before you nail them up.
By storing Eastern White Pine boards for a short
period in the right climate, they become “seasoned”
and will settle in to the dimension they’ll hold for
many decades to come. The boards should be
stored, stickered, and protected
for one week to ten days prior
to application.
Keep in mind that you’re
striving for an average moisture
content for that region. During
extremely dry or wet weather,
you may want to wait for a period of average humidity
to achieve the desired moisture content.
Priming on all sides and edges
is the best approach.
Properly seasoned boards can still pick up moisture
after installation and prior to painting. When siding
releases this added moisture, joints may open up or
buckling may occur.
The best protection against this is to prime or
pre-finish the siding on all sides, edges, and ends
after it has reached climatic balance and before
it is installed. In order to give each board the best
protection, it’s important to prime the ends after
making fresh cuts during installation. Pre-finishing
can also minimize objectionable, unfinished lines
where joints open up due to face width shrinkage.
What if the job just won’t wait?
If you have to install unseasoned materials, there are
some strategies you can use to allow for or minimize
the effects of shrinking and swelling:
• Use as narrow width as possible
• Use patterns that “forgive” some shrinkage
such as Board & Batten, Channel Rustic
with adequate tongue, Board on Board,
Narrow Bevel, etc.
• Let the wood season in-place before applying
a finish
• Pre-stain the boards before installation

Construction Details
The overall siting and design of a house will affect
how well siding performs. There are a number of
house construction features that will minimize water
damage of outside paint including:
• Wide roof overhang
• Wide flashing under shingles at roof edges
• Effective vapor barriers
• Adequate roof gutters and properly
installed downspouts
• Exhaust fans to remove excessive moisture
• Adequate insulation and ventilation of the attic
If these features are lacking in a new house,
persistent paint blistering and peeling may occur
and the structure then would best be finished with
penetrating pigmented stains.
Nails and Nailing
Good nails and nailing practices are a must in
proper application of wood siding. Nail locations are
included under individual patterns. However, the
following data about nails will be very helpful in the
selection and use of the right nail for the right use.
Requirements
The following requirements are essential for nails
used on EWP siding:
1. Rust-resistant, preferably rustproof.
See “Types of Nails Recommended.”
2. Should not cause splitting even when
driven near end or edge of siding.
3. Should have adequate strength to avoid
the need for pre-drilling.
4. Nails should be able to be driven easily
and rapidly.
5. A nail should not emerge or “pop” at any
time after being driven flush with siding.
6. The nail head should not cause an unsightly
visible pattern on the sidewall.
7. Nail butt joints at the stud or blocking.
8. Nailing is preferred over stapling.
The proper application and nailing of wood siding
does much to improve the appearance and durability
of both wood and paint by reducing the tendency of
the siding to split, crack, and cup with changes in
moisture content. When possible, depending on the
siding pattern, siding boards should be fastened so
boards are free to shrink and swell, thereby reducing
the tensile stresses that develop at fasteners.
Types of Nail Recommended
Common iron nails or poor-quality galvanized nails
corrode easily and will cause unsightly staining of
the wood and paint.
1. Stainless Steel
2. High Tensile Strength Aluminum Nail
This nail is corrosive-resistant and will not
tend to discolor or deteriorate the wood
siding. It is an economical nail when the nail
count per pound is considered, although it
is somewhat more expensive than the
common galvanized.
3. Galvanized Nail.
Hot-dipped galvanizing. Degree of
coating protection varies.
When the wood is to be left unfinished to weather
or finished naturally with light-colored penetrating
stains or water-repellent preservatives, only
aluminum or stainless steel nails should be used.
Nail penetration and Spacing
Suggested sizes are minimal and should be longer
when siding is installed over other than wood
38
sheathing and/or sheathing and studs. Recommended
penetration into a solid wood base is 1 1/2”, 1 1/4”
with ring shank nails.
Vertical siding should be nailed to blocking or other
wood framing members not over 36” on center when
face nailed, and 32” on center when blind nailed.
Horizontal siding should be nailed to studs at 24”
o.c. maximum when applied over solid sheathing and
16” o.c. maximum when applied without sheathing.
Nail Shanks
Many nails are smooth shanked and will loosen
under extremes in temperature changes. Increased
holding power may be obtained by using a
ring-threaded or spiral-threaded nail shank.
These particular shanks are readily available.
Nail Points
The most commonly used nail points include:
Blunt – reduces splitting
Diamond – most commonly used
Needle – tops in holding but tendency
to cause splitting
For the best possible holding power with the least
splitting, a blunt or medium diamond and a blunt
or medium needle with a ring-threaded shank are
recommended
How to estimate coverage
The following estimator provides
factors for determining the exact
amount of material needed for basic
types of wood siding.
Multiply square footage to be
covered by factor
(length x width x factor).
Information obtained from USDA Agriculture
Handbook, No. 72, published by the U.S. Forest
Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin.
*Allowance for trim and waste should be added
