Blue Pine Furniture

Beetle kill wood, also known as blue pine wood, has a beautiful, unique color pattern that is all natural. Raised in a Barn‘s blue pine furniture is made from the reclaimed wood of trees that have been killed by pine beetles. The wood gets its distinctive blue stain due to a bacteria left behind by pine beetles that infest the tree. This bacteria is ultimately what kills the tree, and the dead wood that is left behind on the forest floor poses a threat for forest fires. Raised in a Barn recycles the wood from the trees that have been killed by pine beetles into beautiful blue pine furniture. Due to the nature of the wood, each piece of furniture will have its own unique color patterns and hues.  Raised in a Barn offers many handcrafted pieces of blue pine furniture, including:

  • Dressers
  • Chests
  • Plank beds
  • Kitchen tables
  • Nightstands

Like all of our furniture, our blue pine furniture is created with the environment in mind. We reclaim our blue pine wood from trees that would otherwise cause a hazard to the surrounding forest. The mountain pine beetles that carry the bacteria that gives the wood its blue tinge infest living trees, laying waste to large portions of pine populations. This is becoming an issue in states such as Colorado, and the rate of these infestations means that there is a buildup of dead blue pine wood in affected forests. Because of the danger of forest fire due to the dead wood releasing the C02 that was built up throughout the tree’s life into the atmosphere, these infected trees must be cut down, and the wood must be removed from the forest floors.

Although these infestations are unfortunate, they are a natural occurrence and must be controlled in the best way possible. The beauty of the blue stained wood that we use in our blue pine furniture is undeniable, and this unusual wood would otherwise go to waste. Our blue pine furniture is hand-made in the USA by skilled artisans, and each piece of eco-friendly furniture can be made to your exact specifications. Each piece of wood varies in the amount and shade of blue, and the contrast between the dark hues this wood can take on to the original whitish color of the pine is incredibly aesthetically appealing. 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. The interesting blue stripes that run throughout the wood brings a certain character to each piece of furniture we build using this reclaimed wood. Your guests are sure to be curious about any furniture item in your home made out of this striking, naturally tinted wood.
