What it is, and why it matters.
Heart pine is the dense, resin-rich center of old-growth longleaf pine. Boards cut from century-old timbers have extremely tight rings and a glowing amber-to-orange color that deepens with age. It is harder than much of the pine sold today and one of the most admired antique flooring woods in the South.
We mill heart pine from reclaimed mill, warehouse and factory timbers into flooring, de-nail and dry it and sort by color. Nashville homeowners use heart pine for historic renovations and for new homes that want a Southern, old-world floor. We help you choose a finish that keeps the glow.

Heart Pine Flooring: common questions
Is heart pine too soft for floors?
Antique heart pine is noticeably harder than most new pine, and it has been used for floors for centuries. It will dent a little more than oak, which many owners welcome as patina.
Will heart pine darken?
Yes. Heart pine ages from honey toward deep amber and orange, especially in sunlight.
