Anyone have any Beetle Kill Pine you'd be willing to sell?
For a customer with a special request.
Thanks,

As in "blue pine" ??

Used to have some blue stained pine -- will have to look for it if that is what you are looking for.

Another source is the Big Box Stores -- usually there is blue stained pine to be seen there.

Thanks Ken. It is sometimes called Blue Pine. Gotta be the stuff from Colorado.
Here's a wiki page on it
Beetle kill in Colorado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Already checked all the big, small box, and in between lumber sources in my area.
Thanks,

Mine is not Colorado origin. Lots out of the Pacific Northwest.

Mountain Pine Beetle damaged trees are also quite prevalent in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I could probably get you some if it doesn't have to be from Colorado.

Derek,
Thank you!
Small amount, enough for just 3 or 4 pens, the challenge is I need it by this Thursday.
Is that possible?

Check the box home centers. Look for the 2x4's with blue or gray mixed in with the normal color. I see lots of it from time to time.

I have a little bit on hand that I could get to you by thurs, but I'm afraid the staining is only mediocre in it. Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll send you a small flat rate box of it.

PM sent! Thanks!
