Beech - the tree of security

The beech is a deciduous tree that reaches a height of up to 35 m. In Europe, beech wood - especially red beech wood - is mainly used as construction and furniture wood. It is comparable to oak in hardness and is one of the heavy domestic hardwoods.

It owes its name red beech to the slightly reddish colour of its wood. Beech is processed both in its natural form and after the wood has been steamed. This attenuation can enhance the reddish colouring. In addition, the wood, which is still warm after steaming, is relatively elastic, so that it can also be bent if desired. Furthermore, the treatment of the surface can be carried out very well with any agent, especially with stain and polish.

Processing with tools does not cause any problems either, which makes beech wood a versatile material. Due to its flexibility in the steamed state, beech is wonderfully suitable for the production of seating furniture such as Thonet bending furniture. In addition, beech wood is used for parquet floors and wooden toys. Furthermore, beech is an excellent firewood due to its slow, quiet burning and strong embers.

The symbolism of the beech tree originated some time ago, because the beech forest was already perceived by Celtic-Germanic tribes as a maternal being. That is why the Germanic tribes dedicated it to Freya, the goddess of love and marriage. Even today, the beech is considered a symbol of security and wisdom.

If you also want to feel a part of this maternal security of the beech, we recommend a wall clock, table clock or grandfather clock made of this great wood. If you have any further questions, our competent team will of course be happy to advise you.
