The Goodwin Story
George Goodwin, a master carpenter and home builder, was handpicking the finest
materials to build his own dream home. He acquired some longleaf pine
logs a fisherman friend recovered from the Suwannee River and the rest
is history.
The virgin quality, rich red patina and amazing grains of this "underwater"
heart pine, as well as the rarity and historical significance, became
his passion. He realized others would value this treasure and opened
Goodwin Heart Pine Company in 1976.
Since then, Goodwin Heart Pine Company has earned the reputation of
one of the most highly respected manufacturers of antique heart pine
and heart cypress in the world. Installed in homes and businesses throughout
the country, Goodwin's river recovered® wood has also been featured in
several publications and on many television shows.
The cornerstone of owners George and Carol Goodwin is a tradition of
commitment to using only the highest quality wood and strict grading
standards...standards you can count on in a complex industry where national
grading does not exist and so-called heart pine is not always "all
heart." You, too, can own a Goodwin.
