Was any stain used on this beetle kill pine?

8 years ago

This photo shows a much warmer color than most beetle kill pine photos. Is it just the lighting? Is it possible to stain beetle kill pine to obtain a warmer color?

Hi Alma,

It appears warmer only because of lighting, it is our standard clear finish. I have not seen anyone put a stain on it to achieve a warmer look. It would be very difficult to achieve this look with a stain as it would cover up a lot of the natural beauty in the wood.

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
