Fir Lumber

Fir, often referred to as “Douglas Fir”, this wood has a straight, pronounced grain, and has a reddish brown tint to it. Fir is most often used for building; however, it’s inexpensive and can be used for some furniture-making as well. Some woods will shrink, crack or twist as the moisture level changes. Douglas fir is unusual among softwoods in that it retains its size and shape as it seasons.
