Softwood 32 lbs. per cubic foot, 2.67 lbs. per board foot
Grows along the Pacific coast from Alaska to Oregon. The heartwood is bright clear yellow, while the thin layer of sapwood, which is barely visible, is a shade lighter. The wood has a fine uniform texture with low shrinkage, and is moderately strong. Heartwood is high in decay resistance, and works and finishes well.
