FOHC Douglas Fir Timbers

Why Choose FOHC Douglas Fir Timbers?

FOHC stands for Free of Heart Center. These timbers are cut so that they do not contain the tree’s central pith. Compared with boxed-heart timbers, FOHC Douglas Fir is generally more dimensionally stable and less prone to significant twisting, splitting, and checking as it dries.
