Hi, Im getting ready to install knotty pine walls in the cabin.I've seen window/door trim on these walls installed prior to the actual planking and then the boards are butted to the trim.Ive also seen the trim installed on top of the planking.Is there any advantage to either method?Has anyone done this ,do you have any recommendations.Any thoughts would be appreciated

trim ontop of the planking is the normal way to trim a window or door
it depend where your at in the build do you have doors and windows installed?

T&G "planks" or boards?? Installed directly over the wall studs?
Do the doors and windows have jambs that extend past the stud faces so the ends of the T&G will be covered? Or you can make jambs or jamb extensions that are sized to work. Then install the trim over the T&G and lapping the edge of the jambs.

Im putting T&G boards put directly on the studs.the windows and doors are already installed and the jambs extend out about an inch.Im installing 6"-1/2" pine boards in a pickwick style(one edge of each board has a decorative moulding about 2" wide) horizontally.I was thinking of butting the ends to the window moulding which will be 4" by 1" pine boards, so that I dont end up with the gaps I would get under the moulding from the boards.(similar to the moulding used externally around the windows on the log siding)then I would trim out the window with some decorative trim work. Or , am I just over engineering this like I have a tendency to do with the cabin.

I knew a guy whose family had an old luxurious cabin that had unusual cedar shake exterior walls and rough plank horizontal interior walls with mortar / chink filler between the 12" or so boards. It looked great.
Sorry. No pictures. They sold it... Back in the late 80s their property taxes jumped to around $7 grand a year.  ...I guess the tax assessor figured it really did look nicer than boring old drywall.
