Noble Fir Timber Products

Noble fir or Abies procera is commonly called red fir or white fir. This true fir is impressive and limited to the Cascade Range and Coast Ranges of the Pacific Northwest. Noble fir attains the largest dimensions of any of the true fir species.

Noble Fir wood is moderately strong and light in weight. It is valued for its weight, light color and uniform straight grain. The wood of Noble fir ranges from nearly white to reddish brown. The sapwood is indistinguishable from the heartwood.

Noble fir wood is easy to work. The tree's warm, light color and straight grain makes ideal interior finish material for siding, paneling and doors. It is often sold separately for appearance applications and as Hem-Fir (Hemlock-Fir) for construction applications. Uses include lumber, plywood, pulp for paper, framing, sheathing, subflooring, concrete forms, decking, planking, beams, posts, siding, paneling, millwork, prefabricated buildings and structural members, industrial crating and shook, furniture parts, mobile homes, fresh fruit and vegetable containers.
