European White Beech
Beech is one of the most consistently chosen timbers for kitchen countertops. The grain is tight and even, the surface sands cleanly, and the pale tone works across almost any kitchen palette. The ray fleck pattern — visible when the light catches the surface — adds a subtle visual interest that becomes more apparent over time.
Pale cream to light tan
