Old Growth Heart Pine

To attain the finest texture and color in pine flooring there is no substitute for the long leaf pine. This is the tall “old growth” pine whose heart yields the rich hues and patina you expect from premium pine flooring. Phoenix Lumber brings you the best heart pine available from managed forests throughout the southeastern United States .

Reclaimed Heart Pine

Reclaiming antique heart pine lumber is one other aspect of our business. We find old, unsalvageable buildings which are usually treasure troves of the finest antique heart pine you will ever see unmatched by anything in modern day production. These extraordinarily hard, rich colored, fine grained pieces were first cut in an age when 200 year old long leaf pines were common in the southeast. We conscientiously reclaim these timbers and boards, de-nailing and milling each to exactly fit your needs.
