They only leave them standing to protect the live trees. The bugs would rather eat the dead ones, and the woodpeckers have much more to eat and don't go and peck up the live ones.

And dcombs your bed does look great!

You did a really nice job here. Thanks for posting the pics.
I've been using the pine beetle kill for lots of projects, including the
veneers on my new home-made garage doors.

You just have to remember tho, it's pine. It's really soft and scars and dents easily. Don't go throwing a log chain back there...slim
