Sorry Will, that's just not true. How would sap from knots discolor the whole side frame of OP's window?
All pine contains tannin. White pine contains less tannin than yellow pine. I've always known pine to be a bleed problem from tannin, and a quick google search of
pine and tannin only proved it. They actually make products specifically from the tannin of pine.
