Heart Pine Wide Plank Flooring

Heart pine is actually the heartwood of the longleaf pine tree. Though pine is generally considered a softwood rather than a hardwood, heart pine is different. The longleaf pine’s secret is life in the slow lane, taking 200-400 years to reach maturity.

That unhurried demeanor creates a heartwood with tight growth rings and strength, stability, and density on par with red oak or walnut.  Freshly cut, heart pine possesses a yellowish hue, but over time its resin content pushes the coloring toward a pinkish tan or comfortable russet. The grain is dense with some figures, swirls, and cathedrals, and is punctuated by the occasional knot.
