The material

Strong enough to show.

The strongest of the common softwoods, with a bold growth-ring figure worth leaving on show; equally at home in a roof structure and a staircase.

Heartwood is light reddish-brown; the strong contrast between earlywood and latewood gives a prominent growth- ring figure on plain-sawn boards and rotary-cut veneers. Mostly straight-grained, occasionally wavy or spiral, with a uniform medium texture.

More veneer and plywood are made from Douglas Fir than any other timber. Also heavy construction, laminated arches and roof trusses, interior and exterior joinery, poles and piles, vats and tanks, marine and dock work, shipbuilding, mining timber and sleepers.
