Native Colorado Wood Types Available

Douglas Fir

Engelmann Spruce

Engelmann Spruce

Engelmann Spruce is a cream to white color (shown here stained) and is used for indoor general construction.
Lodgepole Pine

Lodgepole Pine

Aspen

Heartwood tends to be a light brown. Wide sapwood is a pale yellow to nearly white, and isn’t clearly demarcated, tending to gradually blend into the heartwood.

"Blue Stain" Pine

"Blue stain" or "beetle kill" pine is lodgepole pine that has been killed by the mountain pine beetle. The byproduct of this bark beetle is a beautiful blue coloring (stain) in much of the dead-standing pine we harvest.
