 The wood is of moderate durability, weight, and 

 strength. It is used locally for posts and poles and 

 cut in limited quantities for siding, common lumber, 

 and timbers. Larch also makes satisfactory heavy- 

 duty and finish flooring. 



Of the 6.4 billion feet of white fir more than four- 

 fifths occurs in Oregon. It is cut in small quantities
