DIY baseboards, craftsman style (Step 1 in redoing your trim)

Very nice work. Thinking about doing this in my house and been researching ideas.

What type of wood did you use ?

[@GordBuildLab]

My craftsman house was a catalogue kit house. The original trim was Doug fir, which isn't that easy to find anymore except as framing lumber. So in the spirit of restoration, I used Monterey pine (P. radiata) which is sold as "select pine" in most US stores. It has a similar grain to the historic Doug fir, and no knots like cheaper pine. Obviously, if you're not going for an accurate restoration you could use whichever wood you prefer. :)
