Fun Facts about VG Douglas Fir:
The decking at the historic Fort Davis in Fort Davis, Texas is made from VG Douglas Fir. It's held up very well for a very long time out there in the dry climate. Once, we drove a load of lumber to the fort and stayed in Marfa for a few nights. On that trip, we caught the largest Snipe ever reported in the state of Texas, a record of a beast.
