Beech wood is heavier and harder than oak, with a dense and homogeneous surface that enhances its durability. The wood features a light, clear color that takes on a subtle pink hue when properly seasoned. Beech wood has straight veins and excellent elasticity, making it both resilient and flexible. Known for its strength and compactness, Beech wood offers superior impact resistance, making it a top choice for crafting high-quality Bokken, Bo staffs, and other martial arts equipment.
