Showcasing a reddish-brown pigment with prominent growth rings and a slightly lighter sapwood, Douglas fir is a beautiful wood flooring option. Douglas fir floors have a predominantly clear vertical grain (CVG), but the grain pattern can also be wavy or spiral-shaped. Mixed grain antique Douglas fir plank flooring is unique, and the previous nail holes and millwork serve as a great reminder that this wood flooring is a rich piece of history and a one-of-a-kind feature in your home or business.
