The yield strength of Douglas fir timber can vary depending on factors such as the specific grade and moisture content, but it typically ranges from approximately 40 to 60 MPa (megapascals) for structural applications. This strength makes it a popular choice in construction and woodworking. It's important to refer to specific grading standards for precise values applicable to particular use cases.
