| Beautiful Vertical Grain Douglas Fir Moulding from Kelleher |
| 12/03/2008 |
| Sourced from British Columbia’s high-altitude Douglas firs, Kelleher’s new Tahoe Series vertical grain (VG) moulding provides the building community with a beautiful product that can reduce the need for custom-milled moulding. |

“The strength of the product derives from its natural attributes,” said Chris Burke, a Kelleher product specialist. “The high-altitude means a shorter growing season, and the shorter season means tighter growth rings that equate to fewer defects and greater stability.”
The result is a finished product of custom-grade quality with a wide range of applications. For example, builders using 1x VG Dfir for door casings can now seamlessly match them with ½” and 5/8” thick baseboards available through Kelleher’s Tahoe Series. Whether it’s designing the perfect library, crafting a fireplace mantel, or creating a companion piece for a Marvin Douglas fir veneered window or door, builders can utilize the Tahoe Series to generate authentic architectural character.
“Residential and commercial builders trying for the Craftsman look and feel get a lot out of this Kelleher product,” said Burke. “This particular VG moulding works well with bases, casings, and crowns that need to match the Craftsman style and tone, as well as fitting in well with any architectural theme that needs to differentiate from the paint-grade, pre-primed finishes.”
For existing older homes built in the traditions of Craftsman, Arts-and-Crafts, and other character-driven themes, having a compatible product choice like those offered in the Kelleher Tahoe Series can mean the difference between memorable design and bland detail. For new buildings it establishes the foundation for timeless architecture.
