Douglas Fir #1 FOHC Timbers (Free of Heart Center, True-Dimensional)
Bring unmatched structural integrity and authentic architectural presence to your build with our premium Douglas Fir #1 FOHC Timbers. Milled from top-tier, Free-of-Heart-Center (FOHC) lumber, these structural beams are expertly cut to exclude the vulnerable heartwood center, dramatically reducing checking, twisting, and warping. Featuring a true-dimensional rough-sawn finish—meaning a 6x6 measures a full 6" x 6"—they deliver the massive strength, exact engineering compatibility, and rugged rustic beauty required for high-end custom homes and heavy timber framing.

Multiply the board-feet figure by your length to get the total: a 8 × 12 × 20 ft timber is 8.0 × 20 = 160 board feet.
Board footage is calculated from the stated true dimensions and is provided as an estimate. Rough-sawn timber varies naturally in size.
Delivery & Pickup
Available for delivery or customer pickup. In both cases the customer is responsible for unloading — the larger timbers are heavy, so plan on a forklift or loader on site.
Make sure your unload area is reachable by truck and has enough room to maneuver, particularly for pieces 24 ft and longer.
