No, Fir is a softwood.
Fir, and other pine trees are considered soft woods. fir is soft wood and is cheaper than hard wood.
There are at least five different trees classed as Douglas Firs. Pseudotsuga menziesii the Oregon Douglas Fir. P.macrocarpa the Large Coned Douglas Fir. P.japonica the Japanese Douglas Fir. P. caesia the Fraser River Douglas Fir and P. glauca the Blue Douglas Fir none of them are true firs the difference being that the cones are pendulous and drop intact. Pseudotsuga means pseudo , false, tsuga , hemlock.
Fir wood is usually light and soft but is sometimes used for interior finishing and for crates and boxes.
Dry Douglas Fir
Balsam fir is a type of wood. It is a soft wood.
Light brown
ash and sometimes fir
Pine wood is very pale brown or yellow in colour.
totally depends on type of wood used. Cedar,pine,fir,etc..
Yellow fir and red fir are both the same species. (douglas fir) It goes like this they are identical until the tree reaches a mature age.(Somewhere between 80 and 180 years old, depending upon location, elevation and soil type) Then the outermost growth rings start to reflect a yellow color. Prior to this stage the wood is red. So a red fir turns into a yellow fir once it reaches a certain age. Any subsequent growth will be yellow wood. The heartwood and any inner rings will remain red. The yellow colored wood is put on as the tree continues to grow.
Fir wood is brown, like most wood. The needles of fir trees, however, are indeed often green. You may be asking if fir is an "evergreen", and the answer to that is also yes. All members of the pine family are evergreen except for the larches and the golden larch (which isn't a "true" larch, and is actually more closely related to the firs than it is to the other larches).
