    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.  Please see the overview of the products that we provide below.

     

    This unprecedented epidemic has devastated millions of acres of forest in Colorado and other parts of Western North America.  The forests are the ‘lungs of our planet’, and they are sick and dying – and there is no end to this devastation in sight.  Over 60 million acres of forest are dead and it is predicted that we will lose about 60% of our trees to warming, drought, insects and disease over the next 20 +/- years.  This is likely to forever changing our forest-scape.

     

    All of our logs are dried naturally by the forces of nature, and there is very little moisture left in our products… but to ensure uniform drying, we are the only supplier of local timber that is kiln-drying our wood products.  Planing is done in the 10-14% moisture range (kiln dried standards = <19%) to ensure a quality finish and wood stability.

     

    Each piece of ‘Blue Pine’ features the random, unique, and beautiful blue-grey streaked tinting that courses up through the clear white Pine and around the knots; sometimes you will even find red’s, maroon’s, orange’s, and occasionally yellows. Utilizing these trees, by ‘salvaging and recycling’, is a sound step in sustainability. 

     

    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.  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. 

     

    All of our products are proudly made in the USA and we urge you to take the step: “Be Green, Build ‘Blue’!  ordering and promoting the use of these beautiful wood products from our local forests.

    Notes: 

    1.)    All board products can be ordered surface planed 2 sides (S2S), 3 sides (S3S), or 4 sides (S4S). 

    2.)    In general, please allow 2 to 4 weeks and 5 -15% overage on your order.  We offer a #2 or Better Grade, and a ‘Country Rustic Character Wood’ grade.  Or we offer a mix of the two products.

    ·         If you want a ‘premium’ look with few ‘imperfections’, i.e., sap lines, character knots and/or cracks/splits, then please allow for more overage so that these natural ‘imperfections’ can be cut out of your finished product. 

    3.)  Like all wood products, our products should be acclimated at normal temperatures and humidity levels for about two weeks to allow the wood to ‘live’ and adjust to the environment that it will be installed.

    4.)    Please contact us for price quotes and lead times. Our pricing depends largely upon the amount of product you want and the profiles or products selected

    5.)    Discounts may be available to contractors and/or for volume orders. 

    6.)    Dealer inquires are welcome.
