Availability – Beech is the pre-eminent species of
Europe’s temperate forest, the second largest in the
world. It makes up 57% of Germany’s hardwood forests.
Sustainability – German law limits cutting to less
than 66% of the new-growth rate. Europe’s forests
have the highest growth rate percentage in the world.
Durability – More solid than Red Oak and Hard Maple,
German Beech is renowned for its high shock resistance.
Machinability – Although Beech is heavy, hard and
quite strong, it’s easy to machine.
Finishes beautifully – German Beech dresses very
smoothly, sands to a high polish, and takes a wide
range of finishes for a variety of cabinet appearances.
