Dan Coker of Blue Pine Design


Here are some things that set Blue Pine Designs apart:

Full service design including tile floors, air conditioning/heat pump, stereo systems, convection/microwaves, big screen hide away TVs, Corian® counter tops, and more!

Upholstery using “Out West” collection of tapestry fabrics and many others.

We use full extension drawer guides and hidden hinges for ease and durability. Also push latches on doors for security while traveling.

Log joinery is scribed and tight using a “trade secret” method that uses no bolts, pins or screws! Incredibly strong.

We try to use local resources and do most of the work ourselves….

Blue Pine Designs - Rustic Elegance

Dan Coker and I had a 1-to-1 meeting on Wednesday. Dan owns Blue Pine Designs. We shared each other's business to understand what we do and who our customers are.

I was so very impressed with Dan. No only is he a craftsman, he is an artist. I think there is a perception that pine wood is the "country cousin" to more exotic woods. Not true! Dan has an eye for the beauty that lies beneath the weathered outer layers of a piece of pine. He can see the potential of a piece of pine that we would consider for our fireplace. Dan uses the "imperfections" in a piece of wood - knots, striations, the weaving of colors - to make a piece of furniture or trim elegant. He knows when he cuts into a new piece of wood that it will have a story to tell. Often he lets the wood's character dictate the finished piece. Dan then finishes each creation with a high gloss polyurethane wood finish product imported from Italy. Stunning!

Dan's customers are home owners and RV, horse trailer and motor home owners. Take a peek at his gorgeous designs below.
