Scientific name(s): Quercus Alba L., Quercus Rubra
Mostly found in older forests, the average oak will grow up to 100 feet tall and three feet in diameter and will live to be 350 to 400 years old. In the fall, the leaves turn a variety of colors including red, gold, yellow, or purple. Through history, it has maintained a romantic association with constancy; a symbol of strength and protection. Best known of all the American hardwoods, it was the prime building material in the earliest Colonial days and was once the standard building timber in the eastern United States. White Oak's more numerous pores are filled making this wood the choice for water-tight containers. Fine whiskies, wines and other premium distillates are enhanced by aging in White Oak barrels. Oak was, and is, a fine choice for furniture, domestic flooring and interior millwork.

Scientific name(s): Pinus taeda, Pinus echinata, Pinus palustris
Southern Yellow Pine is actually a species group that is made up of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) and slash pine (Pinus eliottii). Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris is also included, but we´ll deal with that prized wood separately. Southern yellow pine grows fast and straight with a clear long trunk. It is a "hard" pine, much harder than white pine. The color of the wood is warm pale yellow with a distinctive light and dark grain pattern. It machines easily and is durable when properly handled, installed and finished.

Scientific name(s): Acer saccharum
Nineteenth century women´s shoe heels and early airplane propellers were made of this hard, strong and close-grained wood. Furniture makers from colonial times on have valued it for furniture. And before colonial times Native Americans used it as a source of sugar. Learning "sugaring" from the natives, it soon became a very important part of the New England economy. For both its wood and its sugar, it is a very valuable tree.

Scientific name(s): Pinus Strobus
Until 1860 the Eastern white pine formed vast forests in the northeastern U.S. and was intimately associated with New England since the Pilgrims landed in 1620. What was once a seemingly endless supply of timber was used for the construction of houses, barns and stables. In the 17th and 18th centuries virtually every building erected by Colonial Americans was constructed with Eastern white pine, inside and out. Because of this, our customers are attracted to it for its traditional and historic uses in home interiors for wide board flooring, exposed beams and knotty pine panels.
