For many years, Oregon has led the nation in softwood lumber production. Softwood lumber is made with wood from conifer tree species such as Douglas-fir.
Oregon’s softwood lumber output of 5.1 billion board feet in 2024 accounted for about 14 percent of total U.S. production.
Softwood products are typically used for construction and include dimension lumber, beams, wood paneling, flooring, decking, molding and millwork, and door and window frames.
