Beech heartwood

Beech heartwood is a red to dark brown wood that only forms after 100-140 years of tree growth. Since this type of wood is found only in very old specimens and is therefore considered a rare and expensive species, it quickly gained popularity and became a symbol of luxury. But the main charm of beech lies in its bright appearance, which is especially noticeable on large surfaces.

Birch

Birch wood has a uniform structure. It contains practically no natural resins. Materials made from this wood have high strength, especially under impact loads. Often used for furniture production.

Birch comes to the market in the form of round timber, lumber, as sliced ​​or peeled veneer, and also in the form of plywood. The material is very easy to process, does not chip, is easy to paint, polish, and bends well when steamed.

Birch wood has the necessary properties that allow it to be widely used in interior finishing work. Birch boards can easily be imitated to resemble most valuable tree species.

Most of the wood produced today goes into the production of veneer and plywood. Despite its pliability, flexibility and elasticity, it is not popular among craftsmen.

Birch boards are a common lumber for work around the house. As a result of the fact that birch wood is quite elastic and soft, it is easy to process, and at the same time it is much harder than poplar or linden.

Solid dry birch board is used only for interior work. It is not suitable as a material for building a house because it is highly vulnerable to fungus and moisture.

Such properties indicate the successful use of birch veneer plywood as a material for interior decoration and furniture production, but it is not recommended for outdoor use, because this wood is susceptible to rotting and warping in conditions of high humidity. Birch plywood is much stronger than other types, easy to process and optimal for further painting or any other type of finishing.

Application areas of birch wood

Birch wood is widely used in carpentry and furniture production and for the manufacture of various household crafts.

Birch plywood is widely used by home craftsmen. Various wall shelves, openwork flower stands, and light furniture are made from it. Plywood is also used for cladding wall panels indoors, to create various partitions, and to change the interior. It should be noted that birch plywood can be successfully used instead of drywall.

The furniture is made from solid birch, or I use birch veneer for cladding. In this case, the external surfaces are either tinted with stains or left with the natural color of the wood, because birch itself has a beautiful light pattern.

Birch wood parquet has high performance properties; the service life of such flooring is many years.

Birch is widely used for making various crafts at home. Kitchen cutting boards, knife handles, spoons, combs, various stands, boxes, toys, chess pieces, etc.

Birch can be turned very well on lathes, so a large number of different items are successfully made from it. Containers for bulk products, trays, vases, plates, candy bowls, various souvenirs.

Due to the fact that birch is cut in various directions without chipping, it is widely used by woodcarvers. It is especially suitable for small works, various miniature figurines, small carvings on products, small wooden paintings, and icons. Birch slats are used to make carved frames for mirrors, paintings and photographs.

Birch veneer is widely used in marquetry and intarsia. The blanks can be etched with stains, which results in a wide range of colors, or you can select raw veneer according to natural shades to create pictures on furniture surfaces.

Home craftsmen make tool handles and axes from birch.

This wood is used in the manufacture of stocks for hunting rifles, sports spears and discs, and skis. Certain parts of musical instruments are also made from this wood. Bushings, bearings, and gears are made from pressed birch.

Barrels made of birch wood do not give off any odor, so they are widely used for storing food.

In industrial production, high-quality cellulose is produced from birch, which is subsequently used as raw material for paper mills.

Types of birch

According to the website of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the genus has 113 species and hybrids, the most famous of which are:

• Cherry birch ( Betula lenta
  ). A species from North America with shiny reddish-brown or almost black bark.
• Dwarf birch ( Betula nana
  ). A shrub usually no more than 1 m high with small rounded leaves; grows in Europe in swamps and swampy pine forests.
• Low birch, or squat birch ( Betula humilis
  ). Shrub up to 2 m high with elliptical leaves; grows in Europe along the banks of reservoirs and in swamps.
• Silver birch, or Warty birch, or Drooping birch, or Drooping birch ( Betula pendula
  ). A species widespread in Europe and Siberia; also found in northern Africa. The bark is snow-white to grayish-white. The height is usually 10-15 m, sometimes up to 30 m. Young shoots are bare and warty (unlike pubescent birch, whose young shoots are pubescent and without warts).
• Useful birch ( Betula utilis
  ). A species from the Himalayas, up to 18 m high, with light, smooth bark.
• Downy birch, or pubescent birch ( Betula pubescens
  ). In the European part of Russia it often grows next to the warty birch. For information on how to distinguish these species, see above. It is a nomenclature type.
• Black birch ( Betula nigra
  ). View from eastern North America. Young trees have white and smooth bark, while older trees have dark, wrinkled bark. Presumably ancestral species
• Erman's birch, or stone birch ( Betula ermanii
  ).
  Found in Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and along the shores of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. It is called stone
  for its unusually hard, dense and heavy wood that sinks in water.
