General Characteristics
Birch is a relatively dense wood with a closed tight grain, making it a very stable and strong material.
However, difficulty in machining sometimes becomes an issue.
Most Birch lumber is light tan to light yellowish brown in color and is commonly known as “Yellow Birch”.
Birch trees are not large; therefore, long lengths and wide widths are not readily available.
Typical Applications
Birch is predominantly used in the manufacture of veneers for the plywood industry and in the manufacture of furniture and cabinetry.
