Description
Silver birch (Betula pendula) is a light European wood with a fine and even structure. Both the heartwood and sapwood are light cream to slightly yellow in color, often with a subtle grain pattern. Thanks to its balanced appearance, birch is suitable for use where the shape or detail of the product is to be emphasized.
The wood is moderately hard, easy to work with by hand and machine, and very easy to turn. It is easy to glue, stain, and finish with oils, waxes, or varnishes. When sanded, it achieves a smooth surface without significantly raised fibers.
Birch is often used for tool and knife handles, turned objects, wooden jewelry, wooden toys, decorative elements, and models.
