Pine, Ponderosa - Blue Buggy - 1x12

(Kiln Dried)

 This beautiful character wood is highly prized for its distinctive coloration, the result of a fungus infection carried in the mouth of the Mountain Pine Beetle.

Ponderosa Pine has a minimal amount of of reddish-brown heartwood and exceptionally wide sapwood which is honey-toned or straw-like in color. It has a straight, uniform grain which machines to a clear smooth surface.  Ponderosa Pine is relatively unaffected by changes in humidity after drying, making it valuable for work that requires close-fitting joints. It has a uniform cell structure and shrinks only a moderate amount, in comparison to other softwood species. It seasons beautifully with minimal splitting, cupping or warping.
