Oregon Pine wood

Oregon pine, also known as Douglas fir, is a type of wood that is loved for its durability and beautiful appearance. With a warm, reddish-brown color and a fine grain structure, Oregon pine immediately brings a natural charm to any project. The wood is easy to work with and has a long lifespan, which makes it ideal for various applications, from constructions to furniture and interiors. Because Oregon pine is resistant to weather influences, it is also perfectly suited for outdoor use, such as window frames and facade cladding. With Oregon Pine you choose a strong and versatile material with a timeless look.

From window frames to columns

This beautiful American type of wood is resinous, which sometimes causes greasy spots or stripes to appear on the planed surface. Hard bags also occur. The contrasting color difference in the growth rings between early and late wood is striking. In the quarter (radial) and end plane this is visible in a line drawing and rings respectively. Transparent finishes show off the aesthetic aspects of Oregon Pine beautifully.

Boogaerdt Hout supplies higher quality Oregon Pine at all times, FSC certified, especially for the Dutch market^® or PEFC. This excellent type of wood has been imported by us from the American state of Oregon and from British Colombia in Canada for approximately 75 years. We can therefore boast a long experience as a supplier to the carpentry (frame wood), ladder and mast industry. Our high standards ensure consistent quality wood in stock, carefully dried in America. The extensive experience and knowledge of our sorters and sales advisors make many operations possible at our own sawmill and planing mill. Oregon Pine may be used in a clear finish outside the glass line, so that the beautiful yellow-brown color remains visible. Delivery possible up to very heavy sizes. There is also the option to deliver under the KOMO quality mark.

Editability

Oregon pine is excellent for working, making it a popular choice for both professionals and DIYers. This wood is relatively soft and can be easily sawn, planed and sanded. In addition, paint and stain adhere well to Oregon pine, making it easy to give the wood a beautiful finish. It is also suitable for gluing, which is useful when making furniture or other wooden structures. Because Oregon pine does not warp or deform much, the end result remains tight and stable for a long time.

We have our own machine with which we can carry out various operations for you. In addition to the standard operations, we can do a lot for you. Ask for the possibilities.

Oregon Pine Certification

The process of certification of sustainably managed forests started in 1990. There are now more than 60 certification initiatives in 149 countries worldwide that promote environmentally responsible, socially supportive and economically viable management of forests. A number of these are already operational. For example, certification initiatives such as FSC^® and PEFC already supply wood with a certificate for sustainable forest management. At the end of September 2008, more than 312 million hectares of forest had been certified worldwide. The possibility of purchasing wood certified for legal origin in the Netherlands in addition to certified wood for sustainable production (Keurhout-Legal & Legal Origin) is becoming increasingly known. Below is a brief description of the most important certification initiatives (for the Netherlands).

Technical information

The common import quality in Oregon Pine is “No. 2 Clear & Better”. The rules for this quality are quite general and not very strict. An enormous variation in this quality is possible without breaking the rules.

Boogaerdt Hout supplies higher quality Oregon Pine especially for the Dutch market. This excellent type of wood has been imported by us from the American state of Oregon and from British Colombia in Canada for approximately 75 years. We can rely on a long experience as a supplier to the carpentry (frame wood), ladder and mast industry.

We only import our wood from those sawmills that are willing to go with us in the direction of the requirements set by the carpentry industry. These additional requirements consist of restrictions in the proportion of sapwood, tassels & resin bags and also apply to fine grain.

We proudly call this high quality Oregon Pine. Oregon Pine in solid wood (i.e. not finger jointed) also meets the requirements that apply to the Police Quality Mark with regard to the resistance class for burglary resistance (source Stichting Hout Research).
