Yes, that is for sure Don. These trees were cut in the end of May or first of June I don't recall exactly the day but it was what I had to do, not ideal at all. As for white pine, just about all of it will blue up around here, regardless of when it was cut. Maybe if it was cut November and was cared for properly. There are two way of avoiding it for sure, one is to cut all the sap wood off for it is just the sap wood that blues. And I have had great success with logs soaked in the river, no pitch left to feed the microbes. Well, except for the wood exposed while floating in the water. Oh, I just thought of a third, use hemlock.
