Mixed Grain Fir (Softwood)
Standard
Fir is grown in the Western United States and Canada and is commonly used in plywood, paneling, trim, cooperage, tanks, silos, studs, joists, laminated beams, boxes, crates, pallets and flooring. Average weight with moderate to high strength, moderate shock resistance, and high stiffness. Somewhat brittle and susceptible to splitting (poor for steam bending).
- Color: Mixed Grain Fir comes in varying degrees of red, pink or yellow tones
- Grain: Milling techniques greatly affect grain appearance. Mixed grain Fir is a standard offering comprised of lumber which uses the most economical methods of sawing or milling which produces the highest yield of both flat grain and vertical grain patterns. See photos illustrating grain patterns. Eagle’s mixed grain fir offering will include some parts consistent with this appearance.
- Characteristics: Works fairly easily by machine but requires sharp hand tools. Good turning properties. Glues, screws, and nails satisfactorily.
- Finishing: Stains and varnishes easily but takes paint poorly.
