Reclaimed Heart Pine, Milled In Our Shop
Old-growth heart pine reclaimed and milled into flooring right here in Auburn, Georgia. Kiln dried, planed, and shipped nationwide.
Reclaimed heart pine flooring comes from the dense, resin-rich heartwood of old-growth pine — wood that grew so slowly its rings are packed tight and its color runs deep amber to rust. Trees like that haven’t been cut in generations. The only way to get this wood now is to reclaim it.
We mill our heart pine flooring in our own shop in Auburn. The boards are kiln dried so the floor holds still underfoot, then planed for a smooth, even surface that shows off the tight grain and warm color heart pine is known for.

Reclaimed Heart Pine Flooring, Installed
Every board is one of a kind. Expect natural variation in color and grain, plus knots and old nail marks — that’s the wood’s history, not a defect.
Installing Reclaimed Wood Flooring
We supply the flooring; your flooring contractor or an experienced DIYer handles the install. Let the boards acclimate in the room for several days before installing, with the HVAC running at normal living conditions, and follow standard hardwood flooring practice for subfloor prep and moisture testing. Random lengths install like any tongue-and-groove floor — stagger the end joints and pull boards from several boxes as you go so color mixes evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is heart pine?
Heart pine is the heartwood of old-growth pine. It’s denser, harder, and more resin-rich than the sapwood or fast-grown pine sold today, which is why it was the floor of choice in historic homes.
Is heart pine hard enough for a floor?
Yes. Old-growth heart pine is far harder than modern pine. It will still pick up some character marks over time, which most owners consider part of the look.
Why is it kiln dried?
Flooring has to stay flat and tight underfoot, so we kiln dry it before milling. It’s the one product line we always kiln dry.
