Reclaimed Eastern White Pine Lumber Flooring

(Pinus strobus)

Reclaimed eastern white pine is a softer wood with coloration ranging from a light blonde to deep amber. Traditionally associated with the New England farmhouse, this unpretentious reclaimed wood provides an ambiance of warmth and comfort offered by few other species.
 
Once felled in near-entirety throughout New England and beyond, old growth white pine is now a particularly rare and coveted lumber – especially in the traditional wider-plank format. Virgin white pine has been aggressively harvested since the colonial era, when the British Royal Navy infamously requisitioned particularly fine specimens for use as masts. Today, white pine is farmed, but is sawn for lumber as quickly as possible, giving it an entirely different look and feel than product milled from salvaged old-growth timber.
 
Longleaf mills white pine floor boards in a Bright-Planed White Pine grade, milled in tongue-and-groove profile, with widths from 4”-14”. These boards are generally milled to 3/4” thickness and 2’-14’ lengths. Extra wide plank floorboards can be milled to order. Our Bright-Planed White Pine flooring is a resurfaced product milled from antique boards and/or beams. It includes light checking, occasional nail holes and knots, and presents diverse visual elements of character and use.
