Beech Steamed Square Edge Sawn Board
Beech varies somewhat in its ease of working and machining according to growth characteristics and dried condition. Thus, fairly tough material, or badly dried stock may tend to bind on the saw, or burn when cross-cut, or, if distorted due to drying, provide difficulties in planning. On the whole, however, it works fairly readily, and is capable of a good smooth surface. Beech turns well, takes glue readily, and takes stains and polish satisfactorily. It produces excellent veneer.
The uses for beech are innumerable, from furniture, both solid and laminated from veneer, to domestic woodware, shoe heels, toys, bobbins, tool handles, interior joinery, interior construction, and plywood, flooring, turnery. The various types of beech tree used throughout Europe, mainly for decorative purposes are considered to be sports from the purple variety, which in turn was a natural sport from the common beech discovered in a German wood more that a hundred years ago. A sport is a tree that deviates strikingly from the type of its species.
