I shy away from construction wood with visible resin pockets, as the resin tend to clog up everything, including my patience. That does of course not exclude a diffuse distribution of resin extractives as the cause to blocking the mouth of the spokeshave. Yet, the Scots pine I use has a nice fragrance of resin (the kind chewed upon during innocent childhood), but its shavings cleared the original mouth opening.
