Ice Birch

Trade Name :
Ice Birch, Figured Birch

Origin :
Approx. up the 65th parallel in Europe and Asia as well as in the Northeast of the United States and in southern Canada.

Uses :
Ice Birch was a very popular wood for bedroom furniture in the fifties and sixties, with the demand having been covered by the European Birch. Today, Ice Birch is used for exclusive interior construction jobs and high quality furniture production.

Properties :
Colour is yellowish-white which darkens extensively to a yellow colour under the influence of light. Ice Birch hardly ever develops the typical figure as seen in other species. Its particular form is more to be seen as a healthy and strong wood shifting during growth, resulting in this pattern resembling flames or ice seen under lighting. Highly decorative when processed and surface finished.

Jointing :
No difficulty to produce joints with glue.
