Pine VS Hemlock<\/strong><\/p>\n

I often tell my customers who are familiar with wood to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153forget what they know about Pine or Hemlock\u00e2\u20ac\u009d when it comes to reclaimed. The difference between reclaimed<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0to new<\/em> Pine or Hemlock is substantial.<\/strong> See the blog \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the big deal with reclaimed?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to find out how original Canadian forest wood is a lot different from new wood you see at the lumber store.<\/p>\n

For the most part, we only use Pine and Hemlock in the construction of our product. The primary reason for this is that, frankly, it looks the coolest.<\/strong> As these species are softwood; they have taken the biggest \u00e2\u20ac\u0153beating\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. This means the distressing from the work performed in the old building is most pronounced. You can see staining from organics, broad ax marks, cavities\/colouring from square nails\/metal, and the way the boards have been heavily worn from use [pronounced by the recession of the softest wood between the harder growth rings]. You simply don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see this degree of character in other species of reclaimed wood.<\/p>\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the difference between Pine and Hemlock?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Consequently, I get this asked a lot by my customers. I have listed here the primary differences between the two; and some of the unique features.<\/p>\n
