Original Growth vs. Old and New Growth

Goodwin antique (or original growth) heart pine is guaranteed to be at least 200 to 500 years old, which means it is 100% heart wood and has the highest level of hardness and durability. Please note than New Heart Pine-- sometimes called Old Growth and not offered by Goodwin-- is usually 70-90 old and available by cutting down existing trees. This wood simply cannot be compared to antique heart pine. It is softer with 50 to 100% heart, has knots up to 2 inches, has only about 4 growth rings for a loose grain pattern, and is pale yellow with some red.
