Beetle Kill Pine

It all starts with environmental education. In a continued effort to educate about sustainable forestry we donate to projects that promote healthy forests. Past projects include beetle kill pine guitars and ukulele’s for Jack Johnson that have been signed and auctioned to further environmental education.

Our secret:

~ We hand pick beetle kill Ponderosa Pine trees that average 200-400 years old.

~ Aged like a fine wine our timber stands dead in the forest for up to 5 years. The longer it stands dead naturally in the wild the richer and more dramatic the color will be.

~ We visually grade and methodically cut every tree to maximize the natural color and character.

~ We slowly kiln dry every plank to 6-8% moisture. This helps reduce any chance of future movement in the board.

~ Every board is visually inspected and then milled into T&G flooring and paneling.

~ After milling we visually inspect every board and cut out any defects by hand.

~ Each individual flooring and paneling board is then end matched (T&G on the ends).

~ Our finished product is held to a higher standard and graded to our 99% usable tolerances.

~ If you find a higher quality beetle kill pine flooring or paneling on the market simply return and we'll refund your money.
