Longleaf Heart Pine Flooring

Overview

Both tremendously strong and widely available in much of the Southeast, Southern Longleaf or “Heart” Pine was the building material of choice for burgeoning factories, bridges, ship masts and flooring. Today, it has been rediscovered and can be seen in a variety of formal, traditional and rustic settings from coast to coast.

Our exclusive source for this very special wood is third-generation forester John Crosby of Bay Minette, Alabama. Like his father and grandfather before him, John allows his trees to grow slowly to full maturity before sustainably harvesting them. This produces more of the prized heart wood and wider boards, which are in turn sawn from the choicest portion of the log for maximum strength and beauty.

Even then, only one tree out of 5,000 will be hand-selected by John as a Carlisle tree.
