Wood identification

Not sure about the age of the house it looked to be built within the last decade tho

The Douglas Fir (if that's what it is) that the board in the first pic. was cut from would be considered hardly bigger than a weed and not worth felling or milling. Consequently IMHO it's not Douglas Fir.

Hmmm, how can you say that with such certainty Dave? They could have cut another 8-10" board off either side of that (both of which would be fully quarter sawn).

I can say 100% that it is not Cypress.

This is a pic of a rougher piece its almost fiberous

Yep, you could be right there Brett, I didn't even consider the possibility of a couple of nice quarter sawn boards being taken off the side. That most recent pic. is a rough sawn side and doesn't really add much to assist with identification for me. If the house was only 10-20 years old it could even be Radiata.

That last picture looks to me to be a classic example of the Irish timber -O'Regan, commonly called Oregon in Australia.

I think the second post pic could well be Radiata. The furry one looks like DF again.

+1 for Oregon/DF
