Hardness (Janka)
If Douglas-fir: about 660 lbf, Soft; species is uncertain.
Durability & Decay Resistance
If Douglas-fir: slightly to moderately durable; untreated wood can decay outdoors, with heartwood generally more resistant than sapwood.
Value & Age
Rough construction-grade softwood commonly about $2–$6 per board foot retail; species, grade, and location change the price.
AI estimate for general guidance only — not a professional appraisal. Actual value depends on grade, dimensions, condition, and local market demand.
- Wood Age Estimate
- Not estimable from the photo; surface weathering and saw marks do not establish the wood’s age.
Common Uses
Depending on species and grade: framing, general construction, joinery, furniture, and millwork.
Geographic Origin
If Douglas-fir: western North America, especially the Pacific Northwest.
Workability
Generally machines and glues well; roughness and embedded grit or surface damage may complicate finishing and dull edges.
Finish Recommendations
Clean and sand to sound wood, then use an exterior-rated sealer or paint if exposed; test stain on a small area.
Notable Features
Visible bands likely reflect annual growth rings; dark lines appear to be checks, staining, or marks rather than diagnostic features.
