Pine
Flooring
This beautiful and stable wood
was first used by the original colonists and proved its worth for
over two centuries.
These are our widest boards, starting out light
in color, but will soon age to golden amber. White pine's softer
surface will develop character wear and is among the easiest materials
to refinish.
Perhaps the most traditional of all wide planks, white
pine has been milled or sawn into flooring for nearly three centuries.
We use a combination of grades, which allows for a beautiful blend
of solid dark knots dispersed among the delicate fine grain patterns
so appreciated in this species.
Natural Grade
- Sound tight knots allowed
- No cracks, checks or open knots allowed
- Sap stain not allowed
- Minimum length of 12" (300 mm)
- Maximum length of 8' (2400 mm)
Rustic Grade
- Loose or cracked knots allowed
- Stain allowed
- Minimum length 12" (300mm)
- Checks allowed if they do not take from
overall strength
