Pictures of #2 Grade Southern aka Knotty Pine
Each photo you see on this page is our #2 Knotty Southern Yellow Pine. And without a doubt, the 1×6 is the most popular width, hands down. The value of these floors is found in the character, as evidenced by color. The colors, a result of heart and sapwood are the character and variation we want from the species. Of course, we offer select, prime and clear floors- we just like the knots a little better. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
#2 based on lack of heartwood
A board with less than 50% heart content on the face, it becomes a #2 grade, not because of defects but lack of proximity to the center of tree. Our Heart Pine floors range 50-80% heart content with more narrow grades having a higher percentage of heart to sap.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid gap=”30″ initial_loading_animation=”fadeInDownBig” grid_id=”vc_gid:1682013239804-35d51186-1ae3-1″ include=”4898,425,4570,6632,7197,7817,7184,4895,264″][vc_text_separator title=”Rustic Style Post” border_width=”8″ css_animation=”fadeInRightBig”][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”6″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1682013431555-27c39d82-4960-5″ taxonomies=”6835″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
