    River Recovered Heart Pine & Cypress

Heart Pine      

Item Number: CW-RRHP

Eco-$mart's Heart Pine is cut from old growth logs recovered from the rivers of Northwest Florida. The grain is very dense with high figuring. Flat sawn has a more leafy appearance, while vertical grain is linear or pinstriped. Curly or Rosemary Pine has a whorled appearance with intense figuring and availability is limited.

Heart Pine has a natural resistance to insects due to its density and high resin content. It's workability characteristics (machining/finishing) are excellent. While only 5% softer than red oak, Southern Longleaf Pine is nearly 30% more stable dimensionally. We offer wide planks and solid exposed beams in tight-grained old growth heart pine.
