| Birch Janka Hardness: 1260 - equal to red oak The sapwood of yellow birch ranges from pale white to creamy yellow, while the heartwood tends to be a light-reddish brown with a red tinge. Birch wood has an even texture with a straight, closed grain. Occasionally, boards may show curliness and waves in the grain. It's simple, and makes for attractive flooring. Birch has only a small degree of lustre. |
