General Description

European hardwoods like European Beech is mainly found in Western and Central Europe but can be found as far south as Turkey. They can grow for 300 hundred years with heights of 50meters. Often favored with joiners and carpenters, due to the wood being easy to work with.

The heartwood is light in color quite like a biscuit, usually straight grained. However, irregular or cross-grained material can occur depending on growth conditions. European Beech dries slowly and has a tendency to check, split or develop honeycombing. This is why careful handling, air drying and kilning are important with Beech.

The uses for European steamed Beech include furniture manufacturing and cabinet making, joinery parquet strips door manufacturing and table tops.
