EUROPEAN DOUGLAS<\/span><\/h2>\nDue to the identical colour shades, the wood is very similar to Siberian larch in terms of look and feel.

NAME<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>Douglas fir is another name for the Oregon pine planted in Western Europe. The European douglas tree has a somewhat coarser structure and is softer compared to the original Canadian species. This is the result of faster growth. The most commonly used quality in Europe with No. 2 Clear & Better grading (i.e. practically knot-free and limited sapwood).<\/p>\n<\/div>

The wood of fairly young trees that grew quickly has a redder colour. In the United States, this species is also called red fir, as opposed to the yellow fir, which grows slowly and has narrow annual rings and is more yellow. The off-white sapwood of old, thick trees (old growth) is up to 40 to 50 mm wide and 70 to 80 mm wide in younger trees (second growth). Depending on the growth area (coastal or mountainous regions), the density and strength are highly variable apart from the colour.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>CHARACTERISTICS<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>The Dutch Douglas tree is resinous, which sometimes results in visible greasy stains or stripes on the planed surface. There are also resin-filled cavities along the annual rings (so-called resin pockets). Due to the colour contrast between the spring wood and the summer wood of the annual rings, the quarter sawn and semi-quarter sawn wood has a very clear striped pattern, and the flat sawn wood has a flame pattern. European Douglas is comparable in looks and properties to the second growth from North America.<\/p>\n<\/div>

This wonderful project, that was completed together with Bouwbedrijf Somass BV, concerns a replica of a farmhouse with a guest house and stables. Construction started in 2017 and was completed in 2019. 400 x 500 mm Douglas fir beams measuring 14 m1 in length, have been sawn for the construction of the supports. The beam layers and leads have been made of pine beams in various dimensions. The supporting floor segments are also pine, 38 x 300 mm GG. The facades are western red cedar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
