1 x 10 Heart Pine is the widest of our wide plank New Heart Pine. Remember when you see 1x10x12, those numbers are neither 1″ nor 10″, the 12′ is accurate. Only with pine, new pine for that matter.  Southern Yellow Pine is not one species, actually there are dozen varieties but Loblolly and Longleaf are the two that matter. Loblolly is grown and farms, sold in box stores and offered at your lumber yard as 2×4’s or tongue and groove. Our Longleaf timber is taken from North Alabama from private landowners and very small batches. A Longleaf pine require 150 to reach maturity whereas farm grown pine will be harvested every 30 years.

3/4 Solid Wide Plank 10″ Heart Pine

In 2016, we shipped 4000 square feet of 1x 10 Heart Pine to the Richmond Virginia area for a new construction project. At the time we had no idea the customer would generate what most at SYP Direct believe to be our “best looking floor”. Professional photography, an amazing site finish in a 5 million dollar home, it does make for a great picture.  The good news, if you know how to finish Heart Pine you can create this exact floor for much less than you might think. At somewhere around $3.50 per square foot, unfinished this 1 x 10 Heart Pine can become your million dollar floor.

1 x 10 Heart Pine versus #2 “Knotty Pine

Heart Pine or Knotty Pine floors sounds like you are choosing between knots and no knots or at least fewer. Not true, New Heart Pine has knots in the 50-80% grade. When you look at descriptions, you will see percentage ranges such as 50-80% or 85% plus. These percentages tell us how much heartwood is visible on the face of each board.  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. Heart Pine ranges 50-80% heart content with more narrow grades having a higher percentage of heart to sap. For information about our standard grades, check out our floors.
