During the early days of America, "Trees blazed with the King's mark
were reserved for masts for His Majesty's fleet, and were off limits to
woodsmen of the New World, These majestic trees were Eastern White Pine
and the lumber from them was sought by colonists for home use - for wainscoting,
paneling, clapboards, furniture and other products." (NELMA). Today, Eastern
White Pine has gained even more popularity in the log
home and timber frame industry.
 If
you look at some older homes in the New England region, you will see that
the Eastern White Pine logs
continue to protect them. Properly preserved
logs against the elements are no match for the durability
and practicality of solid Eastern White Pine. Eastern
White Pine is probably the least resinous of all pines. It does not swell
or shrink significantly with changes in moisture conditions.. Eastern
White Pine is also quite plentiful in New England and combined with it
desirable characteristics helps make it the most affordable and most used
wood species in the log home industry today.
All of the Eastern White Pine that Merrimac Quality Log Homes
sells is harvested within a 75 mile radius of Henniker, New Hampshire.
In fact Merrimac Quality Log Homes only sells log home products
milled from Eastern White Pine. We believe that it is the best species
for our target applications/products: milled
logs, log home packages,
structural timbers, log
siding, ceiling and wall paneling.
