Product Description
Clear 4×4 Douglas-Fir Timbers
Bring warmth, strength, and a refined natural look to your next interior project with clear Douglas-fir timbers. Unlike common lower-grade lumber, this clear-grade wood has a remarkably clean appearance, with straight grain, minimal visible defects, and only occasional small pin knots. Its smooth, consistent character allows the natural beauty of the wood to take center stage—especially under a clear finish or light stain.
Douglas-fir also offers a denser, sturdier feel than pine and cedar, making it an excellent choice when you want both visual quality and dependable performance. Its combination of strength, stability, and workability makes these timbers a standout option for carefully crafted interior applications.

Finishing and Use Recommendations
For the best results, allow the timbers to acclimate to the interior environment before installation or fabrication. Sanding and applying a clear coat can highlight the wood’s grain and emphasize its naturally clean appearance. Pre-drill near ends and edges to help prevent splitting during assembly.
