Red Birch Lumber

Red Birch is a beautiful hardwood prized for its rich, warm color, which sets it apart from the lighter tones of yellow and white birch. Known for its smooth, straight grain, Red Birch is ideal for small woodworking projects like cutting boards, game boards, and turned items, where its deep reddish-brown hue can shine. Its fine texture allows for intricate detailing and a polished finish. We carry Red Birch rough and surfaced from 4/4 to 8/4.
