A distinctive feature of Pacific Northwest homes, Doug fir was the building material of choice for homes built in our region in the late 1800's and early 1900's, used for framing, flooring, and other applications both interior and exterior. 

Doug fir is still very commonly used for framing and is a popular choice for flooring, cabinetry, and butcher block surfaces. While it has the reputation of being a relatively soft wood, with the right care and maintenance Doug fir can last generations, as shown by Portland’s bevy of century-old homes. 

Clear vertical grain was for many years the grade of choice, yielded from massive old trees.  While CVG Doug fir is still available, because so many of the big trees are gone other grades are now more common. We encourage our customers to consider additional high grades of Doug fir for many of their applications to ensure that all of the wood is being used and to create continued demand for smaller trees of quality.

Our FSC Pure Antique Doug fir is sourced from the Forest Grove Watershed, where it was harvested as part of a restoration program to restore Old Growth conditions to the forest.  It was then kiln-dried and cut into flooring by local mills. 

This cost-effective kiln-dried solid wood flooring offers a rustic mixed grain face in widths of 5 1/4".  It is 3/4" thick and has lengths of 2' to 12'.
