On this farm in 1970, my father began building a Georgian colonial brick house with beaded shiplap siding made of poplar and many other historic elements, including longleaf pine-Pinus palustris, or what's commonly known as heart pine. And borne from this endeavor and quest to build a house was the ET Moore Jr. Company in 1968. They reclaimed heart pine largely from textile mills and other old buildings, and one of their challenges when reclaiming the heart pine was lead paint. A concerning percentage of the structural members of the buildings' interior were painted with lead, but the material had to be handled in a manner both efficient and profitable, otherwise the material was wasted.July 30, 2013FinishFamiliarize Yourself with Site-Cured UV FinishesTraditionally, customers who wanted job-site finished wood flooring always had to compromise in a couple key areas.
