Birch Wood Strips

Birch timber is sourced from birch species like Betula Pendula (lat. Betula Pendula) and Betula Pubescens (lat. Betula Pubescens). Other Birch species also grow in Central Europe however due to their small size (grow short) they have no economic value.

Most birch density would be approximately about 650 kg/m³ (with moisture level content of 12-15 %). Due to this physical makeup, birch wood maintains the stress-grades of an average to high-density timber species. The birch lumber has an medium hardness, being elastic and viscous and is highly resistant when folded and difficult to split.

Birch is relatively easy treated with hand tools, and quite widely in handcrafting. Machine processing used to plane, mill and more can be used to manufacture bent timber details with often outstanding results.
