Eastern White Pine Wide Plank - Hand Scraped
Eastern White Pine is a large Pine tree native to eastern North America. Good
availability and easy access to mill has made this particular Pine a staple of American
construction dating back to the 1600’s in Maine. Eastern White Pine comes in widths
to 12” to 20” and wider.
Freshly cut white pine is creamy white or a pale straw color but pine wood which
has aged many years tends to darken to a deep rich tan. Occasionally one can find
light brown pine boards with unusual yellowish-golden or reddish brown hues. This
warm coloring combines with the unique grain patterns and knots to create a traditional
rustic environment.
Vast stands of this resource in its native range were logged during the decades
of industrial expansion. Now forests of Eastern White Pine are increasing and our
flooring has FSC certification.
