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.


Also from the same web site:

"As you browse the lists, you'll notice there are some striking
omissions. All the pictures you see are from veneer samples or lumber
scraps from folks who have taken the time to send us a small piece of
wood for scanning. "

From a woodworking standpoint (furniture as opposed to construction) I
wouldn't think that Douglas Fir is all that popular.
