The sapwood of American beech is white with a red tinge, while the heartwood is light to dark reddish brown. The wood is generally straight grained with a close uniform texture.
 
Working properties:
American beech works readily with most hand and machine tools. It has good nailing and gluing properties and can be stained and polished to a good finish. The wood dries fairly rapidly but with a strong tendency to warp, split and surface check. It is subject to a large shrinkage and moderate movement in performance.
