I'm lucky enough to be building a brand new shop, sort of as a retirement gift to myself and my wife. I've been busy planning the layout of tools and benches for the 14' X 30' space, so I will probably have several questions for you veterans. For right now, I'm curious about how best to cover the inside walls after they're insulated. I'd prefer not to use sheetrock and have a chance at some roughcut 1" pine, varying widths from 6" to 12". I now I would have to deal with some shrinkage, even after it's cured, but I have no idea if it would be tolerable or not. do any of you have any experience with something like this? I'd thought about using a table saw to put shiplap edges on it, but think that would be a monumental task, so I'd probably have to go with flat butt seams.
I'd appreciate any insight you might be able to offer.
