Is Douglas Fir not a "popular wood". It's not on the list.

I only ask because fir is on my mind at this time. I have to replace
the trim around a window that I believe is fir, so I'm just curious as
to why it isn't listed at that site.


Not sure. I built my dresser out of Douglas Fir. It is light-weight
and looks good. Careful when working with it as it splinters easily.
