What is Heart Pine?
Every tree is composed of sapwood and heartwood. Sapwood is the external part of the tree’s trunk, which is soft and more easily scratched. Heartwood is the wood that comes from the inside of the tree. Heartwood has a tighter grain, making it stronger and more stable.
Longleaf heart pine is the heartwood of the longleaf pine tree, which almost became extinct due to logging and deforestation. The heartwood from longleaf heart pine is rich in resin, making it extremely durable and highly coveted for construction and interiors in the US and Europe. Today, longleaf heart pine is often salvaged from 18th-century buildings, giving new life to this stunning material.
We stock a range of new and reclaimed heart pine from Mill and Woods, a boutique manufacturer specializing in longleaf heart pine and reclaimed wood. Their reclaimed heart pine is salvaged from iconic buildings, historical structures, textile mills and distilleries such as The Old Crow Bourbon distillery, Coca Cola, John Deere, American Tobacco and the Berkshire Hathaway building.
