Douglas Fir

Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is an evergreen conifer native to North America. It is an important commercial timber species and is now widespread in many parts of Europe, where it is grown in forests and parks. After the coast redwood, it is the second-tallest conifer in the world.
Douglas fir wood has a light yellowish-brown to pinkish color, which may darken over time to brownish tones. The sapwood is lighter, whitish to light yellowish. The growth rings are relatively distinct and create the characteristic grain of coniferous wood.
The wood’s structure is predominantly straight and regular, with a fine to medium-coarse texture. The wood is strong, flexible, and relatively dimensionally stable after drying.
Douglas fir works well with standard hand and power tools—it can be sawed, planed, and turned. Sanding yields a smooth surface, and finishing with oil, wax, or varnish highlights the grain pattern.
In this category, you will find Douglas fir wood suitable primarily for smaller projects, such as turned items, tool handles, wooden accessories, decorative objects, or other handcrafted products.
