Down here in the South, you see a lot of pine wood flooring, and cypress mantels.
One of the nicest things about buying the older houses here, all the wood floors, the molding, window sills, doors are solid wood, stuff that I treasure and love being around.
It kills me when the old oaks are felled in a storm and people cut it up for firewood.
