About red beech
Colour and grain
Light to medium red-brown, sometimes cherry red, and it darkens with age. The grain is straight, fine and even, with a natural sheen. It was formerly named Nothofagus fusca.
Uses
Flooring and stairs, furniture, benchtops, joinery and doors. The heartwood is also used for decking. It is not a structural timber, so keep treated pine for framing and deck joists. We use red beech in our own furniture.
Working it
Red beech machines, turns and steam-bends well, and glues, stains and finishes well. Iron stains it, so use stainless steel or silicon bronze fixings anywhere it can get wet. The packs are rough sawn, straight off the saw, so plan to dress every face. Boards are sawn a little oversize to allow for dressing, so a dressed board finishes smaller than its nominal size: work out your finished thickness and width with that in mind.
In these packs
7 packs listed: 3x1 (75 x 25 mm) and 4x1 (100 x 25 mm) boards in packs about 4.8 to 5.5 m long, graded heritage and mixed. What the grades mean.
