Wood Stains
For a quick reference guide, be sure to download our stain and species guide, which shows various wood stains on actual wood panels, as well as how they look when laser engraved.
You can download the stain guide here.
Our collection of wood stains reflects the trend toward the use of color. Looking to take advantage of the latest “rustic” look that’s popular? Our “wash” stains can help provide that look.
Colorado Heirloom carries an array of wood species. Alder, Cherry, Maple, and Blue Pine are the most common wood types used for various products. All of our woods, except Mahogany, are harvested from Sustainable forests. Blue Pine is considered recycled as it is harvested directly from the forest floor.
Due to the nature of wood, each product piece will have natural variances. We do our best to match woods as closely as possible. We avoid as many knots and pitch pockets as possible, but there are some of these natural wood beauty flaws that just cannot be avoided.
We are constantly reminded that wood is a living “thing”. It can grow, shrink and change in color as it ages and in various climate changes. Keep this in mind when you are planning your special projects and if you are unsure on something, Just Ask!

Blue Pine is a soft wood that is made purely by nature taking it’s course. It is also known as blue stained pine, or beetle kill wood. The wood we use for this is harvested off the forest floor in the Rocky Mountain Range. The lasering on this plaque is filled with a brown fill.
This wood can vary quite a bit in it’s coloring from natural light pine color with streaks of blue to overall blue coverage. Our current supply has more natural light pine coloring with minimal blue streaks.
