European Beech - FSC & PEFC
  
Latin Name : Fagus Sylvatica
Colour whitish or pale brown, if steamed then a reddish brown hue. Works fairly readily and gives a good finish. It can move in response to atmospheric changes so, together with its low resistance to decay, renders it unsuitable for exterior joinery. If steamed then colour changes to pink or light red. | | European Beech Prime Steamed K/D | | | Uses | Specification - longs | Sizes mm | Traditionally the most popular timber
