Eastern White Pine
Eastern White Pine
Truly a gift from nature, our Eastern White Pine (EWP) is ideal for interior and exterior projects requiring quality, durability and a warm appearance. Unparalleled versatility enables EWP to blend seamlessly with countless contemporary and traditional themes.Used as ship masts during colonial times, tall Eastern White Pine trees were axe-marked with broad arrows for exclusive use by the British Navy. The light weight and incredible strength of EWP and its other qualities – fine grain, varied appearance, easy workability, stability and compatibility with many finishes – have made it a favorite of North American craftsmen for more than 300 years.Today Eastern White Pine is used in a broad range of interior and exterior applications. These include interior paneling and patterned wainscoting, flooring, moldings, stair treads, exterior siding, shelving, and furniture. This excellent wood is also used in wooden crates, reels and other industrial packaging.
