There are more than 100 varieties of "PIne" and some of them are more resinous than others. Most woods, including teak, can be glued and epoxied if you are working with material that has been recently ripped, sanded and maybe even cleaned with acetone or lacqueur thinner to remove the surface oils. Some pines are easier to work with than others. The best bet is to obtain a sample and do some testing.
White oak is often used in boat building but red oak is usually avoided becuse of its cellular structure which resembles a bunch of straws which wick water through the wood which isn't a very desireable trait.
