Our Antique Douglas Fir comes from trees that reached impressive heights of 350 to 400 feet. In 1902, loggers felled a remarkable Douglas fir in Lynn Valley, BC, which measured 415 feet tall and 14 feet 3 inches in diameter at the base. Similarly, in 1897, workers felled a fir tree in Whatcom County, Washington, that stood 465 feet tall. This tree measured 33 feet 11 inches in circumference at the base, 10 feet 10 inches in diameter, and 220 feet to its first branch. It scaled 96,345 board feet and, based on its growth rings, was 480 years old. At 465 feet tall, this Douglas fir claimed the title of the tallest tree in the Northern Hemisphere.

As a result, the Antique Douglas Fir sourced from our reclaimed timbers comes in exceptional dimensions! Plankmaker offers tremendous flexibility with this species. Given sufficient production time, we craft Antique Douglas Fir flooring up to 24 inches wide and over 16 feet long. These planks are available as either solid or engineered wood.
