Douglas Fir
Douglas Fir maintains its appearance and shape over time, even when exposed to changes in temperature and humidity. With a warm, rich color and distinctive grain pattern, it adds texture and interest to a surface and has good resistance against decay, rot and insect infestations. The colour may differ according to part of the tree cut, with variations of pink, brown, and cream coming through. Notably characteristic, these variations are often incredibly desirable and are what draw clients to the species.
