Also known as British Columbia Pine and Oregon Pine, Douglas Fir can be found in central & western North America from Mexico to central British Columbia. in 1880, the species was introduced in the north of Germany to enrich the tree composition of German forests with foreign species and this is now a most important source of Douglas Fir, especiallyFumed Douglas Fir.

Douglas Fir 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.

Douglas Fir veneers with narrow growth rings are quite uniform in texture while those with wider rings are very often uneven textured.
