Still, other than the look (mine will probably be pine and painted) I imagine different woods have different absorbative/reflective characteristics?

For a semi-pro home studio/mix room, would pine suffice?

Pine would do just fine for any studio IMO.

You could always buy some 2x6's and slice them into your own "sticks" if you have a table saw. I bought the 2x2's because I didn't have a table saw to cut them with. I cut my sticks into "pegs" with a skill saw.

You can get pine 2x6's at 12' lengths for cheap. Even get 2x10's if you got a truck to haul them.

Another option is the GML method. Buying sheets of 1" MDF and cutting it into "pegs".

Whatever works.
