Experience the unique quality of our 2.4m Cut to Size Douglas Fir, expertly sourced and freshly cut to your specifications. Each piece is rough-sawn in its green state, ensuring vibrancy and natural character. Perfect for external projects, this premium timber is celebrated for its light brown hues accented by hints of red and yellow, enhanced by darker growth rings.

When ordering, lengths are intentionally cut oversized, allowing flexibility for your specific needs. Please keep in mind that each length cannot be halved for postage efficiency; instead, opt for approximate quantities (for instance, order three 2.4m lengths if you need 6m). Careful planning ensures streamlined processing and delivery, making your project execution smooth and straightforward.

Douglas Fir exhibits a medium to coarse texture with a straight or slightly wavy grain, showcasing moderate natural luster. Though it can be subject to warping, checking, and splitting, proper care and consideration during selection will minimize these effects. It works well with stains, glues, and finishes, and its distinct, resinous aroma while being worked adds a sensory element to your crafting experience.

Widely recognized for its durability, the heartwood of Douglas Fir has moderate resistance to decay, though caution should be taken against insect attacks. This species is sustainably sourced and deemed of least concern by the IUCN, highlighting its environmental viability as a construction material.

Named in honor of botanist David Douglas and scientifically recognized from the observations made by Archibald Menzies, Douglas Fir stands apart in its own genus, Pseudotsuga. With varied grain patterns, this timber is utilized in applications ranging from veneers to structural lumber, making it a versatile choice for discerning professionals and artisans alike.
