Older homes with SYP heart wood will bring tears to your
eyes when you jump on them with cutting tools.

You gotta be from the south to really understand SYP.

We got plenty...you want some more ????



I thought that the SYP that was used in old flooring (maybe 75-125 years

in my 90 year old house.) Is that species still being cut? -- Igor
