Do not make the mistake of comparing our antique woods to new heart pine,“old-growth,” or non-native species. New heart pine (not offered by
Goodwin) is usually 70-90 years old; is softer than antique heart pine with 50 to 100% heart; has knots up to 2 inches; has only about 4 growth rings;
and is pale yellow with some red. Some manufacturers may call this “old growth” wood and/or may cut down existing trees for manufacturing. This
wood as well as other woods harvested outside the country, simply can not be compared to antique heart pine.
