BB Aged Heart Pine (Wide Board Dark)

The over 150 year old, rich, dark patina of this wide board floor glows with a unique warmth and texture. Due to the hard, dense grain of heart pine, time has only left a few scars, but you will want to touch the soft, flowing contours that years of wear have added to each board.

BB 100 Year Old Heart Pine floor from the Wine Country

Heart Pine is a dense, virgin growth wood that becomes rock hard over time. It was the wood of choice in the 18 th century. The tree consists almost entirely of incredibly hard “heartwood” which doesn’t decay or get damaged by bugs. It took 36 years for 1 inch of heartwood growth. This wine country floor has the dents and marks of time embedded in the surface to give it a deep, rich color and texture enhanced by its glowing patina.
Available in 4"-5" widths
