Beech Wood
Wood Species:Beech
Latin name:Castanea fagus
Characteristics:
The beech is most widespread in Central and Western Europe, although it can be found as shrub or tree
between the 40th and 60th degrees of latitude. Of all deciduous trees in Germany, the beech is most
widespread and its timber most useful. Beech can found in mixed woodlands as well as in beech woods
particularly in lowlands but also in low mountainous regions
Uses:
Despite its hardness, beech wood can be worked easily. It can be cut, planed, drilled and milled. When steam-treated it is well-suited, like the ash, to bending into form.
