Birch
Heartwood tends to be a light reddish brown, with nearly white sapwood. Occasionally figured pieces are available with a wide, shallow curl similar to the curl found in Cherry.
Overview
There is virtually no color distinction between annual growth rings, giving Birch a somewhat dull, uniform appearance. Grain is generally straight or slightly wavy, with a fine, even texture. Low natural luster.
Price
$$$$$
Working Properties
Generally easy to work with hand and machine tools, though boards with wild grain can cause grain tear out during machining operations. Turns, glues, and finishes well.
