What is the difference between paint and stain-grade wood?

Generally, paint-grade wood is of a slightly lower quality than stain-grade. While stain-grade wood is smoother and more even toned, paint grade may have minor imperfections that will not be visible after the wood has been painted. Please note that Western Red Cedar naturally displays a variety of lighter and darker tones, and is not ideal for staining where a uniform finish is desired.

About Pine:

Pine is an affordable, strong wood that is used in many construction projects. Due to its uneven grain, Pine shutters are most often used when a painted surface is desired, and offer moderate resistance against decay.

About Western Red Cedar:

Western Red Cedar is generally the wood of choice when it comes to exterior wood shutters. Western Red Cedar is knot-free, with a smooth grain that receptive to paint or varnish. Western Red Cedar has superiror color retention, and will not fade or yellow once coated. This fine-grained wood has natural tannins that give it natural resistance to deterioration, fungus and wood-destroying insects. 

About Cypress:

Cypress is a popular choice for outdoor construction because of its watertight durability and attractive grain. Cypress trees generate cypressene, a natural preservative oil that makes cypress heartwood resistant to insects, fungus, decay and the elements.
