Southern Yellow Pine [Pinus palustris]
Southern Yellow Pine  Long renown for use in ship masts since our country's origin, Yellow Pine makes beautiful wood products. The hardest of all softwoods that are commercially available, Southern Pine is one of the strongest structural timbers in the world. Our stress tests have shown that Yellow Pine flagpoles can definitely withstand almost any wind force found in the continental U.S. When remasting the U.S.S. Constitution the choice made of any available species was Southern Yellow Pine, a testimonial to the durability and qualities of this timber.
Northern Red Oak [Quercus rubra]
Northern Red Oak  A beautiful straight-grained hardwood, in it's native environment Northern Red Oak is particularly resistant to wind throw, a quality that makes it a very durable flagpole. Growing tall, straight, and columnar the Red Oak is one of the most perfect choices of species for flagpoles. We recommend a natural clear finish to emphasize the beautiful grain.
  What about Doug Fir?  We hear that question a lot.  The answer is quite simple, if you live on the West Coast, certainly you should consider a Douglas Fir flagpole.  However we believe transporting Douglas Fir timbers or finished products 3000 miles to New England and the East Coast is like carrying coals to Newcastle. We have such a plentiful supply of wonderful native species here, why transplant a non-native product when our flagpoles easily meet the standards of quality and durability Douglas Fir can provide.
