Nova's Douglas Fir 8/4x4 is full sawn rough and graded 85/15 dense vertical grain. It is carefully kiln dried in low pressure steam kilns with a slow schedule designed with a long equalization and conditioning cycle. We stock rough sawn for our customers that prefer to run their own patterns for interior trim, doors, windows, paneling, and more. Because this material is properly dried without case hardening or internal tension, our customers can resaw and rip without the material showing distortion.

Douglas Fir is not sold online. Contact Nova for pricing, current availability and lead time for your next Douglas Fir clear project.

Douglas Fir Species Information

Douglas Fir has the highest strength to weight ratio of any wood species. Primarily found in the western US and Canada, Douglas Fir is frequently use for dimension lumber in lower grades, and for interior finish work in upper grades. Douglas Fir clears are renowned for their strength, durability, and ability to stand up to the elements. In addition to its strength, Douglas Fir has rich coloring with the heartwood aging to a dark tan-red color and the sap wood remaining light tan. Vertical grain, clear Douglas Fir is widely considered to be one of the finest materials available for trim, mouldings, doors, windows, exposed beams, ceilings and paneling. Douglas Fir CVG flooring has been used throughout the US since the 1800's and is often found in classic historic homes.
