Since 1976 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 the Goodwin tradition is a 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."
