Birch Harwood Lumber

All lumber prices shown are per board foot, unless otherwise noted.

Color:

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. There is virtually no color distinction between annual growth rings, giving Birch a somewhat dull, uniform appearance.

Grain:

Grain is generally straight or slightly wavy, with a fine, even texture. Low natural luster.

Workability:

Generally easy to work with hand and machine tools, though boards with wild grain can cause grain tearout during machining operations. Turns, glues, and finishes well.

Physical properties:

Generally lightweight, relatively hard wood with good shock resistance. Yellow birch is harder than other birches. Birch is comparable to Ash in toughness, with better strength properties.
