Fir

Douglas-fir has excellent strength properties. It is well known for its workability and is primarily used for building and construction.

It is hard and resistant to abrasion, making it suitable for uses where wear is a factor, such as wharves, 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.

Douglas-fir is a high-quality wood for the manufacturing of sashes, doors and windows.

It is also used to produce a wide variety of products including general millwork, flooring, furniture, cabinets, veneer, vats, ships and boats, transmission poles and marine pilings.
