Douglas Fir, a
distinctive North American tree growing in all states
from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, is
probably used for more lumber and lumber product
purposes than any other individual species grown on the
American Continent.
Douglas Fir is straight grained
and moderately heavy. Although classed as a resinous
wood, the amount of resin is limited. The sapwood ring
is almost pure white and very narrow. Heartwood is
orange-red and the color contrast between springwood and
summerwood is quite distinct.
Douglas Fir, carefully
manufactured, seasoned and graded, may be used
economically and successfully throughout residential and
light commercial construction. Used in accordance with
its properties and with proper installation, it will
give many years of satisfactory performance.
