Beetle Kill Pine Projects, What Can I Build?

With the beetle kill pine epidemic finally coming to an end, it’s time to figure out what to do with all that lumber! There is a big push right now to adopt beetle kill pine as the go-to lumber because there is so much that needs to be used. The more we can use, the less will be burnt and turned into CO2. So, let’s look at some examples of how you can use the blue stain around your home:

Beetle Kill Pine for Flooring Projects

Blue stain wood looks great as flooring, but, because it’s a softwood, it’s important to keep in mind that it will scratch easily. This, hopefully,  shouldn’t deter the more graceful homeowners out there, as blue stain looks stunning when used in wide, open spaces (sing it with me now).

Beetle Kill Pine for Siding Projects
