When you want to
recapture the warmth, charm and authenticity of
the Early American home, there is no substitute
for wide pine boards. |
| |
|
| The Early American
colonists made their houses and furniture from
the large, straight pines growing in abundance in
New England forests. They sheathed the broad
surfaces, such as floors and walls, with the
widest of these boards for flooring, paneling and
wainscoting since they could cover large areas
with fewer joints. |
| |
|
| Much of the early
furniture was made with a single wide pine board
for table tops, bed headboards, and the sides,
tops and bottoms of various case pieces, such as
chests and cupboards. |
 |
| |
|
| Today, after an
unbroken 350 year history of practical use, these
wide pine boards are hard to find. When they are used,
they greatly enhance the beauty and authenticity
of antique building restoration and reproduction,
whether it's a log cabin, a Southern mansion, a
Western ranch house, or a New England colonial. |
