Reclaimed Heart Pine
Once regaling North America’s southeastern savannah in expansive groves, the standing timber has long been romanticized by writers, naturalists, and woodworkers alike. Decimated at the turn of the century by irresponsible harvesting practices, the species’ strength, stability, and density made it a favorite among builders during the Industrial Revolution. Today, the lumber is reclaimed from Industrial Revolution buildings, linking homeowners, restaurateurs, and others with American antiquity, industrial ingenuity, and contemporary values of conservation and responsible, green building.
