|  Blue pine isn't a specific name. It's a trait with some pines. I know Ocooch Hardwoods in Wisconsin had some a few months back and likely still does. Also look for Blue Mahoe, Blue Mangrove, and Buckeye Burl as you search the web.

| We have Spruce here that can have blue or gray in it. Its some sort of fungus I think. Some lifts are all coloured this way and then the next lift wont have any. i just dig through the pile to find it. They have not figured out that it is not normal yet so the price is cheap. Alan. |

| G'day all, Amazing, I thinks.  I've always given pine with blue in it the big heave ho. Am very interested in the way you make use of it. A while ago I noticed a bloke on the net selling items made from it, marketing it as "Denim Pine". He was getting a bloody good quid to. Just goes to show one man's junk is another's treasure, or with good marketing you can sell anything LOL

| "Blue" pine is caused by a fungus which stains the wood. It is most commonly found in the Western White Pine grown in the Northwest. I never noticed it in the Eastern White Pine when I worked in the northeast. Your best bet for locating it may be the big box stores where they buy and ship some of their wood from the western U.S. or western Canada. It may also be possible to locate a supplier in the N.W. I just haven't looked for it specifically.

| From what I understand, it's caused by the pine bark beetle (hence all the bug holes you find in a lot of it). I think a fungus can also cause it. I hit the jackpot the other day and found a mostly solid gray piece with no holes! The place where I get it has been asking for it specifically lately so if they're able to get it regularly I might be able to get a little stash going to share - if I can find a place to put it! I'm keeping my fingers crossed |
