Why Is Some Pine Wood Blue

Blue stain is a common fungus that infects the sapwood of freshly sawn boards causing a blue discoloration in pine. The infestation most often occurs during the summer months when freshly sawn boards are exposed to the open air before kiln drying. The color can range from a striking blue to a dull gray or black.

Is Blue Pine good for furniture?

Blue pine wood furniture will definitely stand out from other pieces of furniture in your home and will have a unique story behind it as well. Blue pine furniture has a rustic, timeless feel to it, and there’s no other wooden furniture quite like it.

How do you treat blue pine?

Blue pine has been treated with synthetic pyrethroids to resist borers and termites. The treatment is usually water-based, and better for the environment than many other treatments.
