With Oregon Pine, you're choosing a strong and versatile material with a timeless look. Because Oregon Pine is highly weather-resistant, it's also perfectly suited for outdoor use, such as window frames and cladding.
This beautiful American type of wood is resinous, which sometimes causes greasy spots or stripes to appear on the planed surface. Hard bags also occur. The contrasting color difference in the growth rings between early and late wood is striking. In the quarter (radial) and end plane this is visible in a line drawing and rings respectively. Transparent finishes show off the aesthetic aspects of Oregon Pine beautifully.
Boogaerdt Hout supplies a higher-quality, certified Oregon Pine specifically for the Dutch market. Currently, our entire stock is PEFC-certified. Our high standards ensure consistent quality in stock, carefully dried in the USA.

Our Oregon Pine is sourced from sustainably managed forests in North America. We supply PEFC-certified wood. Thanks to controlled harvesting and processing, Oregon Pine is a responsible choice for both new construction and renovations.
The common import quality in Oregon Pine is “No. 2 Clear & Better”. The rules for this quality are quite general and not very strict. An enormous variation in this quality is possible without breaking the rules.
Boogaerdt Hout supplies higher quality Oregon Pine especially for the Dutch market. This excellent type of wood has been imported by us from the American state of Oregon and from British Colombia in Canada for approximately 75 years. We can rely on a long experience as a supplier to the carpentry (frame wood), ladder and mast industry.
We only import our wood from those sawmills that are willing to go with us in the direction of the requirements set by the carpentry industry. These additional requirements consist of restrictions in the proportion of sapwood, tassels & resin bags and also apply to fine grain.
We proudly call this high quality Oregon Pine. Oregon Pine in solid wood (i.e. not finger jointed) also meets the requirements that apply to the Police Quality Mark with regard to the resistance class for burglary resistance (source Stichting Hout Research).
We supply tailor-made and ready-made wood solutions to construction, trade, industry and shipbuilding, the carpentry industry, yachts and interior construction. Do you have specific questions or wishes? Get in touch.
Is Oregon Pine the same as Douglas fir?
Yes, Oregon Pine is the North American variety of Douglas fir. American pine is generally finer-grained and more stable than European Douglas fir. Oregon pine grows slower, has a finer grain, and is generally more stable and less resinous than European Douglas fir.
Can it be used outdoors or for cladding?
Yes, provided it is treated properly. For outdoor use, we recommend a suitable finish or treatment to extend its lifespan.
Is the wood type suitable for visible work?
Absolutely! Thanks to its warm color and beautiful grain, Oregon Pine is very popular for window frames, ceilings, stairs, and furniture.
How much does Oregon Pine wood cost?
The price depends on the dimensions, processing, and current market fluctuations. Generally, it's an affordable alternative to other structural wood types. For a current price estimate or a customized quote, please contact us.
Is Oregon Pine sustainable?
With a durability class of 3, Oregon Pine is moderately durable. Treatment is recommended for long-term outdoor use, but it's an excellent choice for indoor use.
Is Oregon Pine easy to work with?
The wood is easy to work with and has a long lifespan. It's relatively soft and easy to saw, plane, and sand. Furthermore, paint and stain adhere well to Oregon pine, making it easy to achieve a beautiful finish. It's also suitable for gluing, which is useful for making furniture or other wooden structures. Because Oregon pine rarely warps or deforms, the final result remains smooth and stable for a long time.
