The Secret of Antique Heart Pine

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Carol Goodwin

The River Recovered antique wood manufacturing process offers new life to old logs which have been lost, sometimes for hundreds of years. Many of the logs found on the river bottom ended up there from storms, floods and other natural means. Many are second growth logs (verses original growth) and are not worth the time or effort to recover. But the valuable timber can be distinguished by the end of the log, it is "axe-cut". This indicates they were likely cut sometime prior to the mid-1880s, before the steam engine came into use in the South.

After the heavy steam engine appeared in the South, loggers switched to two-man crosscut saws. This let them to log trees way quicker for rail transport. These logs are able to be identified by their level cut ends. As soon as the logs were unloaded from the train, they were normally carried via body of water to their last destination. The densest and greatest quality logs were the ones most probable to slip off the log transportation rafts and then sink to the bottom of the river. These can be distinguished from low quality logs by touching and rubbing as well as checking out their ends. If the end of the log feels like a coarse wooden comb, you likely do not would like to the effort of reclaiming it. Heavy growth will certainly likewise have remarkably tightexpansion rings.

Another signal of age is the 'cat faces', or whisker like scars, which show up on numerous antique river pine logs we reclaim. The Longleaf pine ecosystem is the reason the US was once the world pioneer in Naval supplies; tar, pitch as well as turpentine, till the mid 20th century. Men would hike into the woodland throughout the Winter season months and rub the bark with a 'bark hack' to lead to the hardwood to bleed oleoresin. They gathered the resin as well as took it to a distillery and made turpentine. According to Forest Products Research Center scientists, this resulted in the hardwood to respond to trauma, hence creating extra resin content which makes these water reclaimed logs harder as well as even more strong than numerous other timber.

Despite the limited visibility in the tannin river waters, you can often see the ends of logs with an underwater light to count the growth rings. 1924 is the last year that standards were published for the longleaf pine. The standard was 6 growth rings per inch, 1924 was the last year that antique heart pine (longleaf pine) was commercially available.

According to research published in guide, Longleaf Pine, WG Wahlenberg, 1946 by USDA Forest Service, even a 200 year-old Longleaf pine tree is only 2/3rds heart wood. The longleaf pine is very hard and dependable as a result of its high heartwood content.
