Blue Pine (New Zealand Pine)
Blue Pine, also known as New Zealand Pine, is a premium softwood known for its smooth texture, uniform grain, and light appearance. It is harvested sustainably from managed forests in New Zealand and is widely used in interiors, furniture, joinery, and decorative applications. Blue Pine has a light, creamy white to pale yellow color with occasional bluish streaks, adding to its unique visual appeal. It is kiln-dried for stability and easy to work with in terms of sawing, planing, and finishing.
