Making the best of BC wood

[Southpa]

I was just watching the morning news and saw something interesting. A BC company is taking advantage of the results of our Western pine beetle. Apparently, the beetle leaves behind a blue fungus which gives the wood a bluish tinge. They are marketing it as "denim" pine and it seems to be all the rage. Might be a good source of bed wood for those people who have blue-based paint.
