Hah.  I actually resawed these boards from some 6x6 cutoffs from a pergola a friend gave me.  I was going to try to turn some Christmas trees on my lathe with them but tearout was pretty bad so I abandoned that idea.  I do love the vertical vertical grain you can get from Doug fir and I always try to resaw with that in mind.
