Oregon Pine Veneer
Also known as British Columbia Pine and Douglas Fir, Oregon Pine can be found in
central & western North America from Mexico to central British Columbia.
Oregon Pine sapwood is whitish to pale yellowish and narrow in old-growth trees but as much as 7cm wide in second-growth trees. Young trees have reddish heartwood, while very narrow-ringed heartwood of old-growth trees may be pale yellowish brown. The grain is usually straight, sometimes showing curly or wavy characteristics displayed best on rotary cut veneers from old and large trees.
Oregon Pine veneers with narrow growth rings are quite uniform in texture while those with wider rings are very often uneven textured.
