Goodwin HeartPine is premierquality, pure andvirgin heartwood,unspoiled by sawsor nails. Heart Pineis the lumber cutfrom old-growthSouthern LongleafPine. It was used tobuild homes all overcolonial and 19thcentury America and Europe, manyof which still stand today. The tim-ber became so popular, that it virtu-ally was cut to extinction a centuryago. That’s why Goodwin rescues

sunken Heart Pine logs fromriverbeds and mills them into fineflooring and paneling – the mostfrequent use of Heart Pine today.

GOODWIN HEART PINE:BEAUTY UNDERFOOT

Historical photos courtesy of the Florida Archives

Heart Cypress was a favorite wood for porch flooring, exteriorsiding and paneling. The wood from these millennium giants

was perfectly adapted to resist rot and insects. Plantations fromthe early 1800s made entirely of Heart Cypress; doors, paneling,

mouldings and floors are often intact treasures today.

Heart Pine’s hardness and stability makeit the perfect choice for homes like this oneon the coast overlooking the water. Theowners love the floor’s easy maintenance aswell as the beauty of wood. SIZES, PRICE AND PRODUCTION TIME

Did you know that Heart Pine is similar in cost to fine carpet and tilefloors? Yet it offers many more benefits: it never wears out and evenincreases in value over time, it is easier to maintain, is recommended forallergies, and adds so much character and warmth to a room. Due to itslimited availability, Heart Pine costs more to make than the averagehardwood flooring, but our customers tell us it is worth the price.Goodwin is committed to being the best value in Heart Pine.

To mill this precious resource, our production quality demands that wefollow every step in the manufacturing process. Goodwin does maintainsome stock of the most popular widths of Heart Pine and may be able tofill your order for standard widths within one to two weeks. The usual

production schedule, however,from air-dried lumber to finishedflooring, is four to five weeks.

Conserving this rare resource

Antique Longleaf™ has the samebeautiful grain pattern of HeartPine, though, and it comes from thesame river-recovered source.Antique Longleaf contains less resin,so it accepts stains more readily. Thewarm red tones in Heart Pine arereplaced in Antique Longleaf™ bylighter and brighter tones.

RIVER-RECOVERED HEARTCYPRESS™A Most Primitive Wood

Like our Heart Pine from river-reclaimed logs, Goodwin is the orig-inal company to offer River-Recovered Heart Cypress™. Heart

Cypress, from the Bald Cypress tree,represents one of the few survivingmembers of prehistoric species. It istruly a primitive American wood.Through eons of adaptation, BaldCypress has developed an inherentresistance to moisture, bugs andother destructive forces not foundin other woods.

The feathery grain and honey hue(amber to light chocolate) of HeartCypress paneling makes it the con-summate companion for Heart Pinefloors.

FLOORING AND PANELING

The variety of grain patterns in Heart Pine and Heart Cypress is part of the natural beauty of the wood. Like fingerprints, no twopatterns are alike.

These prized woods come in two distinct grain patterns for use inflooring: Select and Vertical.

• SELECT GRAIN is a blend of Vertical and plainsawn (or leaf) grain,characterized by cathedral arches and fingerprint swirls. Select grainhas no face knots over 1-1/4", no machine defects, and no facechecks, cracks or pitch pockets over 1/8" wide. Customers also canorder Select Clear grade (no knots) or specific lengths when requiredby adding to the price.Available widths: Standard (2-1/2", 3-1/4" or 5-1/4", and River-

Recovered in 7" and 9" face) or custom widths.

• VERTICAL GRAIN, a pinstriped pattern the length of each boardand produced from the quartersawing process, has growth rings nomore than 45 degrees perpendicular to the face. This wood is almostcompletely clear of knots and is more consistent in appearance. OnlyGoodwin offers 100 percent Vertical grain in any quantity. Available widths: Standard or custom widths up to 3-1/4" face

(limited amounts of 5-1/4" on occasion).

• CURLY GRAIN, A third Heart Pine grain pattern, is the rarest ofall, found in about one in 500 logs. This burl-patterned pine occursin the outer layer and only in the bottom cut of these rare logs, andwe reserve small quantities for cabinet and furniture doors, newelposts, borders and other trimwork.

RIGHT: Curly Cabinet.One in every 500 longleaf pine trees devel-

ops this distinctive grain; instead of lines,it runs in whorls and curls. A pattern of

bumps on the log’s surface tells the salvagerhe has found a prized curly-grain log,

worth about four times as much as the oth-ers. It will most likely be sold for cabinet

doors or fine furniture.
