85/15 Vertical Grain
Old Growth Douglas Fir lumber will average a minimum of 6 to 8 growth rings per inch on either end of the board. The appearance will be close-set lines on the faces, and the boards will be the most dimensionally stable. Vertical grain Douglas fir is ideal for various applications, its straight, clear grain offers both beauty and durability. Reach out if you have questions about our vertical grain Douglas fir selection.
CVG
A clear Vertical Grain Douglas fir from new growth or fast growth trees. Contains larger and fewer growth rings per inch, and the appearance will be wider lines, but generally straight.
C & Btr Mixed Grain
A combination of Vertical Grain (straight grain) and Flat Grain which produces cathedrals and a rotary grain appearance.
Industrials
Our DPO (D-&-Better Pullout) surpasses most moulding-grade offerings. You will achieve higher yields because ours has no wane and is produced in fixed widths.
Did you know?
Considerably more expensive than knotty grades, clear and nearly clear Douglas Fir is produced from less abundant, long-rotation, managed western forests.
