Clear Douglas Fir

Douglas Fir is best known for its tough fibre, dense grain structure and strength. Appreciated by designers and architects alike, it has a rich visual quality that responds to fine craftsmanship and finishing.

Douglas Fir has a light, rose colour which darkens over time when exposed to UV rays. When sawn, its vertical grain is particularly attractive and has a remarkably straight grain pattern.

Moisture content levels are carefully controlled in the highests grades to ensure products will meet the strict dimensional stability requirements of furniture manufacturers and cabinet makers.

Exceptional Finish,
Douglas Fir machines to an exceptional smooth, glossy finish and when dry it retains its shape and size without shrinking. swelling, cupping, warping, bowing or twisting, and generally won't show a raised grain.
