A comparison of Pine Mountain Brand Heart Pine Flooring and antique heart
pine.
Antique heart pine makes beautiful floors, but the cost is very high. Some
producers of antique heart pine products say things such as "the trees the
wood came from are extinct or are no longer available". These statements
are totally false. Although longleaf southern yellow pine is not as common as
it once was, it is still growing and harvested today. Granted the great giant
trees of yesteryear are not seen anymore, but this is true of all species of
trees. When you compare Pine Mountain Brand Heart Pine to antique heart pine,
Pine Mountain Brand is the clear choice.
