Birch (Betula — latin name). This sort of wood has no kernel, sap-wood. Wood color is white with yellow or reddish tint. Medullary rays are narrow, they are seen only on a radial cut. Yearly layers are bad seen.

Wood is hard, homogeneous on a solidity and it is well processed. It resists cleaving, is good at imitating valuable sorts of wood, it is painted and polished well. It is exposed to warping and rotting.

Karelian birch plays the most important in the sphere of the parquet and furniture manufacture, which has a very beautiful texture (curly grain) and color.
