Why Douglas Fir? 

​

Due to its strength, Douglas-fir is primarily used for building and construction. It is hard and resistant to abrasion, making it suitable for uses where wear is a factor, as in trestles, bridge parts, log homes and commercial buildings. It is one of the finest timbers for heavy structural purposes, including glulam beams and roof trusses. Structurally, it is used in the form of lumber, timbers, pilings and plywood.

​

Douglas-fir is also used to produce a wide variety of products including general millwork, flooring, furniture, cabinets and veneer. This species has excellent strength properties and is well known for its workability. The wood dries rapidly with small dimensional movement and little tendency to check. It is relatively easy to work, with good machining qualities.

​

Douglas Fir can vary in color based upon age and location of tree. Usually a light brown color with a hint of red and/or yellow, with darker growth rings. Grain pattern varies from very wide and wild to straight and narrow.
