DF is all we have up here in the PNW. /brag g

Freshly cut, it's as soft as pine. Dry, it's harder than oak.
Import nails bend when they just _see_ aged doug fir. And it handles
cold, rainy weather damnear as well as PT, cedar, or redwood. Amazing.

Vertical grain Douglas fir can make some nice looking furniture and carries
a premium price hereabouts.

VG carries a hefty price anywhere. VG cedar in a stain-grade tubasix
is $8-12/lf here, special order. Dunno 'bout VGDF.
