We specialize in
European Beech, Pacific
coast Alder and beetle kill pine which is often referred to as blue
stain pine.
The beetle kill
(blue stain) pine
is harvested in the Rocky Mountain region. The Ponderosa or
Lodge pole pine is usually removed as standing dead timber before being
kiln dried. The pine
bark
beetle bores into the living tree resulting in spectacular and completely
natural colors as the tree slowly dies. These colors range
from mostly blue-gray with specks of brown, red and green. This creates
wood for very distinctive products that are guaranteed to be unique.
Alder is a
medium hardwood that
comes from Oregon or Washington. It's medium brown in color with
extremely warm grain patterns and is often compared to east coast
cherry. It has very dark or black character knots which imparts an aged
contrast
to the wood.
European or German Beech is grown in Germany's natural
forests, and is sustained-yield harvested under the toughest forestry
laws on earth. It's creamy whitish brown color is beautiful when
finished with a clear top coat but also takes darker stains well.
It is extremely hard and durable with smooth texture and grain patterns.
