Caribbean Heart Pine

Hardness: 5.2 Stability: Average

Caribbean Heart Pine is made from a pitch pine found in Central America. This wood, which grows in vast quantities in countries like Honduras, is a perfect wood for flooring. The high sap content makes this wood very hard for a pine, only 4% softer than red oak. As we pick only the heart or middle of the tree for our floors, this is one pine that is not only beautiful but very practical as well. We select the boards for a consistent knot count and because of the natural size of the tree we are able to offer this wood in widths up to 8.1/2”.
