Old Growth

In the 1970s George Goodwin, a master carpenter and homebuilder, discovered the virgin quality, rich red patina and amazing grains of "underwater" antique heart pine and the rest is history. Goodwin Heart Pine Company has carved its unique niche by reclaiming and milling some of the finest antique wood flooring in the world. Amazingly enough, this treasure is available at reasonable prices and is ideal for numerous projects - both traditional and contemporary.

Specifications Overview

There currently are about 20 products of all price ranges available. We occasionally have the opportunity to offer other fine woods and grades so be sure to ask "what’s new." (And we often can match competitor's prices too).

In addition, because we have the logs we can provide wider widths, longer lengths and wood for custom projects.

There are generally three grains to choose from:
	SELECT grain is achieved by sawing flat through the log and results in a blend of both arching grain pattern and vertical grain in planks up to 10 inches wide (wider widths available for lumber). Goodwin provides a high percentage of vertical grain - or about 75 to 85 percent in wide "plain sawn" projects.
	VERTICAL grain is a pinstriped pattern achieved along the full length of the board by using the quarter sawing process (a more intricate sawing method that incurs more waste). Goodwin provides 100% vertical grain, with growth rings no more than 45 degrees perpendicular from the face.
	CURLY grain is an extremely rare, natural burled grain. This unique and luminous grain pattern is found in about one out of every 300-400 logs. It is perfect for a stunning conversation piece inlays on flooring and cabinetry, or other specialty projects.
