Heart Pine was used extensively in the construction
of early industrial America. The timbers reclaimed from these buildings
provide breathtaking character with a combination of deep heart
color, some fastener marks, distinct grain and occasional red knots.
An AntiQue Southern Pine Floor is elegant and formal and yet fits
well with rustic design schemes.

The unique distinctiveness of a reclaimed wood
product is generally what makes it so desirable. Although we may provide
a sample, photograph or description of a particular type of wood product
as an example to demonstrate the general characteristics of that type
of product, such sample, photograph or description may not necessarily
be representative of the product actually delivered due to the great
variability in color, grain, texture, sign of previous use, etc. |
