My guess is that is Owens corning Quietzone treated lumbar. It defiantly is some sort of treated lumber |

No, definitely not treated, at all. Precut studs are this color for identification. --------------------------- While you are reading this, your enemy is training. |

^indeed. You don't have to measure each one and make sure it's a wall stud. Just grab and go. Plus when they're up and there's no drywall up, they're easily seen and you get less run-ins  |

They came from a lumber yard owned by women. That's the best I can do. --------------------------- Nikon D3 | 28-70 f/2.8 | 70-200 f/2.8 VR | 200-400 f/4 VR | 50 f/1.4 | TC-14E II | SB-800 | SB-600 "A child is not likely to find a Father in God unless he finds something of God in his father." - Unknown |

I thought they knew I liked pink and did it special for me. I would love to see pink tarp, I would buy it just for the color. Funny nobody said anything about the fridge sitting by the lumber, you can't see it but they also have a microwave next to the t-pole. |

Just to confirm what was already said, it's a meaningless dye that at one time was added to studs as a marketing gimmick. By now, I don't the mills even remember why this was ever started and are just continuing out of habit. --------------------------- http://elanr.fotopic.net I complained I had no hat, until I met a man who had no head. |

Most probably simply that mills stud grading ID method. It's not at all unusual to see studs that color. I just never questioned why. The mill probably visually ID's it as something like; 92 5/8 #2 spruce, or whatever. My thought..... --------------------------- Paul A.
