Premium Clear Vertical Grain (CVG) Douglas Fir | S4S
The Gold Standard for Architectural Projects
Our 2X Clear Vertical Grain (CVG) Douglas Fir is the premier choice for craftsmen, architects, and builders who demand both structural integrity and unmatched aesthetic beauty. Sourced from the finest timber, this lumber is kiln-dried and surfaced on all four sides (S4S) for a smooth, ready-to-finish feel.
Why Vertical Grain?
Unlike "flat grain" lumber, Vertical Grain is sawn perpendicular to the growth rings. This results in a tight, linear grain pattern that is significantly more stable, less prone to warping or cupping, and offers superior stain and finish absorption.

Key Features
Architectural Quality: "Clear" means exactly that—free of knots and defects on all visible faces.
Structural & Decorative: Strong enough for framing, yet beautiful enough for exposed rafters, cabinetry, and custom furniture.
Superior Stability: The vertical orientation of the grain ensures the wood expands and contracts evenly, preventing the common "twisting" found in lower-grade lumber.
Natural Durability: Douglas Fir is renowned for its natural resistance to decay and its high strength-to-weight ratio.
Best Used For:
Exposed Beams & Rafters
High-end Exterior Trim and Door Frames
Custom Furniture & Tabletops
Modern Architectural Slats and Screening
Note to Builders: Because this is a natural product with an actual thickness of 1.5 inches, please ensure your joinery calculations account for the finished dressed dimensions.
