4 Inch, 6 Inch, 8 Inch DF FOHC KD Timbers

Marks Lumber is now stocking Douglas Fir 1 & Btr Free of Heart Center (FOHC) Kiln Dried (KD) timbers. These timbers are very similar to the special order coastal fir material we have been supplying for years. We are stocking this material full dimension, and can resaw it back with either a circle sawn or band sawn texture.

This material offers a couple of benefits. First is availability. All of Marks Lumber's suppliers are crazy busy, and even common dimensions--that we used to be able to get in without issue or delay--are taking much longer to source than they used to. So Marks Lumber is hoping to expedite availability of many rough sawn fir timbers.

This doesn’t mean that you shouldn't continue to plan ahead and order timbers. This material will be slightly more expensive than standard special order, we don’t have every dimension, and we don’t have a huge quantity in stock.

Along with delays getting material in, we are also finding that although material is stamped KD, and almost always tests to the spec, it is in fact quite a bit greener at the center of larger timbers than we used to see. Because we will be resawing this material back to nominal dimension per order, we can store it in covered racks and let it continue to air dry; any sun faded material will be removed.

Our hope is that making this investment will allow us to be more responsive to your timber needs, while supplying a higher quality product.
