a proven and tested<br />
timber species<br />
Oregon-Pine<br />
The softwood<br />
with the highest<br />
natural durability
North American Douglas Fir is one of the most sought-after<br />
timber species in the United States. The trunks that initially<br />
all originated from primeval forests allow a production of<br />
flawless cut timber of far greater dimensions than those from<br />
the most similar European types pine and larch.<br />
Thanks to this benefit, Douglas Fir is used also in Germany,<br />
a traditional pinewood consumer country, for special applica-<br />
tions.<br />
The qualities and dimensions of the exported timber fol-<br />
low the specifications of the Export R List of the Pacific<br />
Lumber Inspection Bureau. Cut timber for the biggest<br />
part, practically free from knots and sapwood, typical<br />
thicknesses between 40 and 150 mm, widths between 7.5<br />
and 35.5 cm and lengths between 1.8 and 11 m, optio-<br />
nally with upright (edged grain) or vertical annual rings.<br />
The imported timber still originates from old growth<br />
stands of premium quality independently of its shape.<br />
With an annual ring width of <strong>about</strong> 1 to 3 mm, Douglas<br />
Fir is among the hardest softwood species and, conse-<br />
quently, offers adequate strength properties.<br />
