GreenLife Industries, LLC Timber and Lumber Product Information

Taking steps towards sustainability....

Our ‘Blue Pine’ Log cabins, homes, and wood products are salvaged from our Rocky Mountain ‘standing dead’ ‘Blue’ Lodgepole Pine that has been killed by the Mountain Pine Beetle. We then recycle the dead timber into beautiful and unique wood products. This epidemic has devastated millions of acres of forest in the Colorado Rockies and there is no end in sight. The Forest Services predict that 90% of our Lodgepole forests will succumb over the next several years, forever changing our forest-scape. Each piece of ‘Blue Pine’ features the random, unique, and beautiful blue-grey streaked tinting, sometimes with red’s, maroon’s, and occasionally yellows.

All of our logs are dried naturally by the forces of nature, and there is very little moisture left in our products. Planning is done in the 10-16% moisture range (the kiln dried standards) to ensure a quality finish and wood stability. Utilizing these trees, by ‘salvaging and recycling’, is a sound step in sustainability. We urge you to take the step: “Be Green, Build ‘Blue’, by ordering and promoting the use of these beautiful wood products from our local forests.

All but our milled products are handcrafted by local craftsmen, and will have natural variations in coloring, thickness, width, and appearance. These ‘imperfections’ add to the beauty, charm, and uniqueness. For those of you seeking rustic elegance, and a true ‘Rocky Mountain appearance’, you can feel good about playing a part in utilizing these gifts of nature, and you’ll be thrilled to see how they make your project truly one of a kind.

We offer a ‘standard’ product line that you will have a hard time finding anywhere else. We show a large selection of unique products on our website and on display at our showroom in Granby, CO. We are also happy to work with you on a custom basis in designing and manufacturing almost anything that can be done with wood.

Log Furniture – We offer a line of about 50 log furniture products for both indoor and outdoor use – and we can make custom furniture pieces for you as well. All furniture is made from ‘standing dead’ timber.

Notes:

1.) All board products can be ordered planed 3 sides or 4 sides. (Planing only 3 sides leaves the band saw or circular saw rough cut surface exposed - many customers want to feature the rough cut face but desire a uniform thickness for the best appearance and ease in installation.) Hand-hewn is also available now!

2.) Please allow 2 to 4 weeks and 5 -15% overage on your order. We do not sort for ‘Rustic’ vs. ‘Premium’ grading of our products – we leave the finished look of the product up to you. If you want a ‘premium’ look with few imperfections, knots and/or cracks/splits, then please allow for more overage so that these natural ‘imperfections’ can be cut out of your finished product. Like all wood products, our products should be acclimated at normal temperatures for about two weeks to allow for any shrinking that may occur prior to installation. Please contact us for price quotes and lead times. Discounts may be available to contractors and/or for volume orders. Sorry, but we offer no warranties, expressed or implied, and do not accept returns.
