Beech Plywood And Lumber

Beech is typically a pale cream color, sometimes with a pink or brown hue. The veneer tends to be slightly darker colored, as slicing the veneer usually requires the wood to be prepared with steam, which gives the wood a more golden tone. Flatsawn surfaces tend to be very plain, while quartersawn surfaces exhibit a silvery fleck pattern. Euro Beech is commonly used for flooring, boat building, furniture, cabinetry, musical instruments (piano pin blocks), plywood, and turned objects.
