Douglass fir is good for small swimmers and poppers also good for needles. As it is farily dense it gets too heavy for big swimmers IMO. I should be sealed, I have hade no trouble with splitting but it does absorb water. One problem I have had with it is that there is variable results from one sample to another. The problem being that the growth rings are sometimes so much harder than the rest of the piece that it sands unevenly.
