RANDY BLUNT PINE BEETLE FURNITURE
Randy Blunt has lived in Colorado since the early 1970s and currently resides in the foothills near Blackhawk where he designs and creates his unique furniture. At an early age, Randy's artistic interests led from drawing and painting to woodworking. When he discovered beetle kill pine a passion for the beauty of the wood began.
His craft of working with beetle kill wood came about one day when he was at a hardwood dealer and saw examples of beetle kill wood. He was intrigued by the blue staining and decided to purchase some of the wood. The beauty of this wood combined with Randy's artistic talent gave way to this unique design of book-matching on the table tops to show that mirror-like image of the wood. He takes time examining the character of the wood before deciding what will be chosen for each unique piece of furniture. He looks at the full spectrum of colors in the lumber which varies from shades of blue, bluish black and grey to brown which are the most common, although various shades of yellow, orange, purple and red are sometimes encountered. All of the wood that he uses is a by product from the devastation of the Colorado forests due to the pine beetle epidemic. Randy strives to create unique designs and is also happy to work with potential clients to design custom furniture. ------------------------------------------------------------------ All images on this website are copyright the artist unauthorized use prohibited
