sourcing » Douglas Fir » Geneva Steel |
| This fantastic inventory of Douglas fir beams measuring
8" x 16" x 24' (each beam weighs more than 700 lbs!) was part of our country's response to
World War II. Many of these beams, reclaimed from the Geneva Steel plant in Vineyard, Utah,
have been pressure washed to reveal the tight grain pattern and golden hue of classic
old-growth fir. Geneva Steel was built by the US Department of Defense from the finest

produced plate steel and structural shapes for the West Coast wartime shipbuilding industry.
It then went on to operate for another 60 years.
