Blue Pine Source

[tgiro]

This is a western wood & I'm in an eastern state (PA). I used to get some from the handsome woodman, who has apparently dropped off the net - at least the website comes up as a 404.

Does anyone have another good source who ships?

Thanks

Tony

Menards 3rd quality has a lot of blue pine. That's where I get mine

[tgiro]

Thanks for the links everyone!!!

I guess mine had expired or something - just wasn't working. I got another heron to make. and need it for a couple other projects.

Again - I really appreciate the help.

Found out the other day ebonizing pine will turn it gray - there's another thread around here somewhere

That's very useful information, Janette. Judy is having fits finding a mostly unstreaked dark blue board for me.

A few weeks ago I was at Roberts Hardwood in Sarasota, Fl. Dan ( the guy in the lumber warehouse) told me that blue pine would be coming in by the truckload. Apparently a couple hundred thousand acres of pine in Canada have been killed off by the beetle that makes the pine blue. He said that once they start cutting it there will be loads of it..

I'm in Canada and have not heard this and wouldn't know where to buy it here. Must ask around,.

Diane - you should be able to find it by asking your local lumber place - it is just regular pine (probably #2 or #3 grade). Most of it comes from the west where the trees have been beetle killed. BC, Washington and OR are likely the main places

Thanks Janette. I will check out the local places.

I also found some at a Menards. When I go to a lumber yard or big box store, I will walk down the wood aisle looking for interesting wood. I found a bunch a few weeks ago at Menards and it was a lower quality pine. I picked up some 6-8" wide boards with some very nice blue in them. I looked at the price of some of the blue pine boards and was kind of shocked.
