Douglas Fir
DOUGLAS FIR - Pseudotsuga menziesii - Is well known for its strength and durability. The appearance and stability of the clearer grades of Douglas fir make it ideal for joinery, doors, millwork, window and door casings, mantels, stairs, baseboards, paneling, and flooring. Characterized by density, Douglas fir is extremely desirable for the timber frame and post-and-beam uses in residential housing and light commercial building industry. Douglas fir is unique among all softwood species in that it is dimensionally stable without being dried, meaning that it does not significantly shrink or twist.
