Everlasting… character and quality.

Why Eastern White Pine (EWP)?

Eastern White Pine (EWP) is the natural choice where warmth, character and quality are preferred. Everlasting for interior and exterior applications, Eastern White Pine (EWP) has been the traditional choice of craftsmen in New England and Eastern Canada since the 1700’s.

Used initially as ship masts, its qualities were known for having incredible strength, the ability to grow true and tall, and yet be very light in weight. Today the growth qualities are the same, and the uses have broadened to interior patterned wainscoting, flooring, moldings, exterior siding, log home construction, crating, packaging, shelving, and furniture.
