Douglas Fir. The main reason it is here is for its very valuable timber. Slow and steady harvesting of these trees helps with the cost of restoration, it’s one of the most expensive softwoods on the market. If you were to ask local timber sawyer Dennis Andrson for some facts about Douglas fir, he would probably say that the long, straight saw logs provide timber with great structural strength for load-bearing beams and frames. The high resin content gives the wood natural durability, useful for floor boarding and external cladding. It is similar in structure to larch a high resin timber but unlike larch it behaves its self in joinery. Like most timber it breathes and you feel much better and your general wellbeing in timber homes is much better.
But there’s a lot more than that.
When it is growing vigorously on a sunny day, the plant oils become volatile, entering the air and flowing on the breeze, an aroma both pungent and sweet. A handful of needle-shaped leaves, crushed and inhaled give a sense of freshness and purity. It is reputed to have antiseptic and many other health qualities. It is high in Vitamin C and has been used for the relief of cold symptoms and sores.
