Douglas fir
Tall Northwest timber
Douglas fir is a large evergreen conifer native to western North America, prized for its strong, straight-grained timber used extensively in construction and plywood.
Despite its name, it is not a true fir but belongs to its own genus.
These trees can grow over 300 feet tall and live for centuries, making them among the tallest and longest-lived trees in North America.
The cabin was framed entirely in Douglas fir.
