Clear vertical grain, square edge with a slight easing. Douglas Fir is the major species produced in the West, with more volume shipped than any other species, and its sterling performance history is recognized the world over. Douglas Firs light rosy color is set off by its remarkably straight and handsome grain pattern. Sapwood is white to pale yellow; heartwood is russet with high contrast between the springwood and summerwood. Source: California and Washington state.
