I use pine as a “chameleon” since it stains (and paints) so well. Sometimes it is the lightest wood of a blend, but other times I make it the darkest (or other) of the mix.

Thanks everyone. I love the many examples of pine paired with various woods. I will very likely try some of these combinations myself in future projects.
