General Information:
Beech works readily with most hand and machine tools. It has good nailing and gluing properties and can be stained to a good finish. The wood dries fairly rapidly but with a strong tendency to warp, split and surface check. It is subject to a high shrinkage and moderate movement in performance.
Harvested Areas:
The North-Eastern Appalachian region.
Typical Uses/Availability:
Furniture, doors, flooring, millwork, paneling, brush handles, woodenware, bending stock, toys and turnings. It is particularly suitable for food and liquid containers since there is no odor or taste. Availability is fairly limited.
Relative Abundance:
.4% percent of total U.S. hardwoods commercially available.
