I am installing a coffered ceiling. I started construction with select 1x6 pine. Due to technical issues I need to change the wood to 1x6 poplar. I am planning on painting the beams white. I know this may seem like a silly question, but is there any known problem with using two different types of wood? Will anyone notice once the beams are painted? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Well, I'm no expert but I seriously doubt once it's painted it would be possible to tell. Poplar is very straight closed grain very much like pine.

I find pine very knotty and rough. Do a good job filling knots and sanding the whole board and you should be fine
