Beech – European

European Beech (Fagus sylvatica) is one of the most popular and commercially important hardwoods in Europe, thanks to its large supply and modest price. It’s slightly harder than its American cousin.
The wood is pale cream, often with a pink or light reddish-brown tint. The grain is straight and the texture medium, and it machines, turns, glues and finishes easily. Large trees yield long, wide boards.
It’s strong, tough and steam-bends very well, which is why it has been used in European boatbuilding for centuries. Like all beech it isn’t durable outdoors and can move in service, so well-dried, quartersawn stock is the best choice where stability matters.
European Beech is used for furniture, cabinetry, flooring, turnings, instruments and veneer. See also American Beech.
Not listed in the CITES Appendices or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Why We Love This Wood
Strong, tough and a superb bender. There's a reason it's one of Europe's favorite hardwoods.
