The Reason for Douglas Fir’s Popularity

Coastal Lumber strives to stock above average Raw Douglas Fir Lumber source primarily from Northern California and Oregon. Our Raw Douglas Fir lumber means it retains its natural moisture content, as opposed to being dry.

Douglas Fir is one of the most dominant lumber species in America’s northwest forests accounting for roughly one fifth of the continent’s total softwood reserves. Straight grained and exceptionally strong, our top quality Raw Douglas Fir is known for its distinctive grain patterns, produced by the varying degrees of spring and summer wood in the grain.
