Beech Lumber

Beech is a strong and versatile hardwood with a fine, consistent grain, making it a great choice for hobbyist woodworkers. Its smooth texture and light color are ideal for small projects like cutting boards, game boards, and turned wood, where a clean finish is essential. Beech is also known for its excellent bending properties, making it popular for curved designs. We carry Beech in 4/4 rough and surfaced only, depending on availability.
