Our storied wood spans multiple generations and is derived from classic “boomsticks” that made up the perimeter of log transportation rafts from over 50 years ago. These select old growth Douglas Fir trees were hand-picked for their straight and branchless trunks, that when chained together would form one of the original water transportation technologies for logs—technology that has since been replaced by more efficient methods.

As time progressed, the old log rafts became obsolete and the boomsticks were slowly forgotten about, often stored along the riverside. Now this historic story of the old growth Doug Fir lives on through the Columbia Riverwood product line and in the Northwest’s finer
residential and commercial structures.
