Non-stock product. Please enquire with the sales team. Minimum orders may apply
Douglas Fir, known scientifically as Pseudotsuga menziesii, is sourced from Britain and Europe. It is recognised for its good strength and durability.
The heartwood is light reddish-brown in colour, distinct from the lighter-coloured sapwood. The abrupt change and contrast in colour between early-wood and late-wood bands produce a prominent growth ring figure, which is a feature of plain-sawn surfaces and rotary-cut veneer. It is generally easy to work with when green, although knots, especially loose ones, can be problematic when cutting joints. Knots can become loose as the wood dries out.
Good – Douglas Fir works well with standard woodworking tools and techniques, producing a smooth finish.
Douglas Fir is durable, making it suitable for structural construction and other demanding applications.
Sawn to size as per request.
Specification: Green (Wet)
The density of Douglas Fir is approximately 700kg/m³.
Ideal for structural construction and boatbuilding.
