Heart Pine

Heart Pine from 1891 Hartford, CT schoolhouse


Great for cutting vertical grain or wide plank flooring and timbers
It is a good time to be specifying heart pine as there is a lot on the market and most companies, including ours are willing to offer material at discounted prices. This particular batch was too good to pass up and had some truly monstrous timbers, some measuring 13” x 19” x 21’ long. Most of the timbers are 7x15x16’ long and cut very well in either direction. This will make some premium flooring in both the 7” and the 15” dimension, as well as decent character grade.
