Vertical Grain Fir (Softwood)
VG Fir, known for its excellent dimensional stability, is tight-knotted and close-grained. Vertical grain is created when lumber is sawn across the annual growth rings (, resulting in a straight, vertical grain pattern and smooth surface. The growth rings reflect the growth rate of the individual tree, so the width and spacing of the grain pattern will be different on each piece of wood.
- Color: VG Fir comes in varying degrees of red, pink or yellow tones.
- Grain: The clear, straight grain pattern, in combination with the slightly rosy tint, gives an eye-catching, uniform 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
