Reclaimed Northern Yellow Pine Flooring
Posted by: admin
The Stonebrook Group has recently completed a project in Western Mass utilizing reclaimed northern pine. Harder than most pine species, Antique Northern Yellow Pine is milled from old growth lumber that is reclaimed from old buildings and given new life. Knots, nail holes, and worm holes are part of the old world charm that enhances it’s orange-brown warmth. This beauty can only come from 200 year old wood. Northern Yellow Pine was harvested for early American colonial buildings and no longer grows in this hemisphere.
This Stonebrook Woodworking Project in Wilbraham Massachusetts used reclaimed lumber from the attic of the 1780’s farm house. The wood was re-sawn and installed in what was once the carriage shed to the home. The original floor of 500 to 1500 lb. granite slabs was still in place beneath multiple layers of wood. Firring strips were laid directly on top of the granite as “joists” (for lack of a better word) and the flooring was nailed directly to them. All things considered, 200 plus years of layer upon layer was surprisingly intact.

As you can see antique northern yellow pine is wonderfully warm and rich. Reclaimed lumber has become extremely desirable as the green movement has become a large part of mainstream society. The rarity of Northern Yellow Pine makes it valuable. Cost of this type of antique pine flooring averages $15 per square ft. prior to the re-sawing process. If you own an old northern home, chances are you have a small fortune in your attic or shed.
If you have any questions.
