South Georgia Heart Pine

hundreds of years ago majestic forests of towering long-leaf pines spread throughout the southeastern united states. trees stood well over 100 feet in height and the cores of these trees were called heart pine. heart pine is one of the finest woods available to man. this hard and durable wood was used in the early 19th century for building many homes and some large factories. because the wood was in such demand, the forests were almost depleted by the 1920s.
