10x20 Douglas Fir timber, free of heart center (FOHC), available
8 ft to 40 ft in even lengths — full sawn rough, or surfaced to S4S.
Our Douglas Fir timbers are cut primarily from old growth logs, and the vast majority
grade out as Dense — at least six growth rings per inch. Many come from
salvage logging: old growth trees already brought down by storms. They carry little to no
sapwood, so they age to the uniform, rich tan-brown heartwood Douglas Fir is known for.
Brashy second-growth fir is simply not the same timber.
Because they are free of the pith, FOHC timbers move far less than heart-center stock —
markedly less warping, twisting, checking and splitting as they dry and settle. Ours air dry
for several months before final surfacing, which holds colour and grain far better than
kiln drying and keeps checking down.
Grade stamped on one end: roughly 70% Select Structural, 30% No. 1 Structural,
graded by the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau (PLIB). Douglas Fir has the highest
strength-to-weight ratio of any wood species on the planet.
Every timber order is quoted. Tell us your sizes, lengths and piece counts
and we'll come back with pricing — usually within one business day.
