About silver beech
Colour and grain
Light brownish-pink timber with straight grain and a fine, very even texture. Formerly named Nothofagus menziesii, it is common in the wetter forests of the West Coast and Southland.
Uses
Furniture, benchtops, flooring, wall panelling, joinery and turned work. The even texture wears evenly underfoot and takes a smooth finish. It is not suited to outdoor decking, cladding or anything left out in the weather. We use silver beech in our own furniture.
Working it
Silver beech saws, machines and turns cleanly, is kind to cutters and steam-bends well. 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
6 packs listed: 4x1 (100 x 25 mm) and 5x1 (125 x 25 mm) boards in packs about 4.4 to 5.7 m long, graded heart, heritage, sap and sap heritage. What the grades mean.
Questions
Is it kiln dried?
Yes. Every pack is kiln dried and has been in dry storage for 3 to 5 years.
Can you dress or profile it?
Yes, on request. We can dress the boards or profile them into flooring, wall panelling, interior trims or dressed boards. Contact us with what you need.
Can I see it first?
Yes. The packs are stored on the West Coast, and you can view them by arrangement. Contact us to arrange a time.
How is it delivered?
