The richest, most beautiful antique flooring in the world…in limited supply.

PRICES AND SPECIFICATIONS GUIDE

Only Goodwin

Back in the 1 9 70s 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’s wood has won numerous awards including the prestigious 2002

Designer’s Choice Wood Floor by the American Society of Interior Designers, and Floor of the Year

in 2000, 1999 and 1997 from the National Wood Flooring Association.

Where antique heart pine comes from

Before the American Revolution, longleaf pine…the

source of heart pine…dominated the landscape in the

South. Where there was once approximately 90 million

acres, less than 10,000 acres of original-growth heart pine

remain today.

Why heart pine is the ‘wood that built America’

More than 150 years ago, you couldn’t go anywhere in

the South without running into the naval stores industry,

which tapped longleaf trees for valuable resin used in

paints, soaps, weatherproofing products, shoe polish and

medicines.

However, the logs were even more valuable. The

common timbering method was to cut trees with axes and

drag logs with oxen or mule teams to the riverbanks. And

the best way to transport longleaf logs to downstream

sawmills was via makeshift river rafts.

As industrial America began to flex its muscles later in

the 19th century, heart pine was transported in tall ships

made of heart pine up the Eastern seaboard and over to

Europe. The Herculean wood provided flooring, joists and

paneling for homes and factories, as well as timbers for

bridges, warehouses, railroad cars and wharves. Also appre-

ciated for its beauty, it was utilized in Victorian hotels and

palaces.

Anytime you visit an old building, look around. You

are likely to recognize heart pine still hard at work and in

excellent condition. Independence Hall, Jefferson’s

Monticello, the Brooklyn Bridge and many homes from

the 18th and 19th centuries are just a few examples where

antique heart pine has stood the test of time.

Heart cypress trees were the true giants

Original-growth bald cypress trees were also logged

more than a century ago and are recovered by Goodwin

from Southern rivers. Many of these amazing prehistoric

survivors were more than 1000 years old and over 100 feet

tall. Prized for resistance to insects and water damage, this

wood was a favorite of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Why River-RecoveredTM wood is better

In our experience the densest and best logs were the

ones that slipped loose from the rafts and sank to the river

bottom. The cool waters preserve the logs in pristine

condition, which results in wood not only more stable and

durable, but more alive and richer in color...just as it

would have been 200 years ago.

Goodwin Heart Pine is the only well established company

recovering these virgin-growth logs. Today, just like yesterday,

heart pine and heart cypress are cherished for their special

qualities. This wood will last for generations to come.

Do not make the mistake of comparing our antique woods to new heart pine,“old-growth,” or non-native species. New heart pine (not offered byGoodwin) is usually 70-90 years old; is softer than antique heart pine with 50 to 100% heart; has knots up to 2 inches; has only about 4 growth rings;and is pale yellow with some red. Some manufacturers may call this “old growth” wood and/or may cut down existing trees for manufacturing. Thiswood as well as other woods harvested outside the country, simply can not be compared to antique heart pine.

Select grain is achieved by sawing flat through the log and results in a blend of both arching

grain and vertical grain in planks up to 10 inches wide (wider widths available for lumber). Goodwin pro-

vides a high percentage of vertical grain (or about 75 to 85 percent) for wide plainsawn projects.

Vertical grain is a pinstriped pattern achieved along the full length of the board by using the quar-

tersawing process (a more intricate sawing method that does incur more waste). Goodwin provides 100%

vertical grain, with growth rings no more than 45 degrees perpendicular to the face.

Curl y grain is an extremely rare, natural burled grain. This unique and luminous pattern is

found in the outer wood of less than 1% of all reclaimed logs. It is perfect for a stunning conversation

piece, inlays on flooring and cabinetry, and other specialty projects.

Questions to Ask...1. Is the wood from the longleaf pine?

Longleaf pine is the best source of antique

heart pine. Some companies sell Southern

yellow pine, loblolly, shortleaf pine, slash or

a combination and call it heart pine.

Although they are pine and they have heart

wood, antique longleaf pine — especially the

river-recovered™ wood — is stronger, more

durable, more stable and has a richer patina

and color.

2. Is it truly antique? Or how old was

the tree when harvested?

The only way to get heart wood is time.

According to the USDA Forest Service book

“Longleaf Pine”, it takes 200 years for a

Longleaf pine to become mostly heartwood

and to be considered antique. Scientists say

any wood from a tree less than 200 years old

is “new heart pine.” A 75-year-old tree will

average only 30% heart, and even a 130-year-

old tree yields wood that is not as hard or rich

in color as antique heart pine. U.S. Forest

Service specialists report that even a 200-year-

old tree will average only 65% heartwood.

Note: Goodwin’s heart pine is from trees 200 to

500 years old.

Alert! “Old-growth” does NOT mean

antique. The term is used loosely and often

refers to new heart pine.

3. Is it 100% heartwood?

A tree has two components: heartwood

and sapwood. Heartwood is prized

because its tight grain means it is stronger

and more stable. In other words, more is

better. Less heart, which means

more sapwood, results in softer wood that

can be scratched and dented.

Heartwood hardness and strength

comes from its resin, and longleaf has more

resin than the other 200+ species of pine.

Plus, longleaf heartwood is beautiful. The

grain is not your usual oak pattern (found in

75% of homes) and is a rich, red color

because of the resin. One hundred percent

heart wood means the color will be consis-

tent. Even 98 percent heart will have yellow

sapwood streaks that produce a strong/obvi-

ous color variation.

Alert! Lesser grades can have up to 50 percent

sapwood and may still be called heart pine.

4. Are there at least 6 growth

rings per inch?

The more growth rings, the stronger the

wood. Each pair of light and dark rings is

from one growing season. When pairs of

rings are very close to each other it means

the tree grew slowly and the wood had

time to become dense and strong.

Longleaf pine trees usually grew only an

inch in diameter every 30 years and lived

400 to 500 years. It’s no wonder the wood

is so hard and durable. True antique heart

pine has at least 6 growth rings per inch.

Four or less indicates new growth trees.

Note: Goodwin exceeds industry standards

by offering premium grades that have 8 or

more rings per inch.

5. What size and type are the knots?

The last time professional standards were

published for heart pine was 1924. After

the forests were cleared, they no longer were

needed. However, the 1924 specifications

allow for knots to be no bigger than 11/2”

inches in diameter and specify that knots

must be sound (not loose or open).

Note: Knots are infrequent in the better

grades of antique heart pine.

Note: Goodwin exceeds 1924 standards.

6. What about pitch pockets,

checking and nail holes?

Pitch pockets are crystallized resin

pockets and should be solid or easily filled.

Only pockets 1/8” or less are allowed in

antique heart pine. Checking (or tiny surface

cracks) is natural in antique heart pine due to

the high resin content. Checks are easily

sanded out after installation and will not be

noticeable. Building-reclaimed heartpine

usually includes nail holes. Better grades

allow only small infrequent nail holes.

Building-reclaimed heart pine may also

include nail staining around the nail holes or

on some areas of the boards.

7. Do you guarantee you will deliver

what is specified?

We recommend you use the terminology pro-

vided by the Reclaimed Wood Council when

you specify the grade you want for your proj-

ect. (We are happy to provide this to you.)

Get your grade in writing to guarantee you

get what you specified. Larger, more estab-

lished manufacturers will spend a great deal of

time with you from planning to installation

to ensure you get the floor of your dreams.
