Beech one of my favs, 3.2.2010

Reviewer: Gary (Pasadena, CA)

I love working with beech. I've had some of my clients say it's too bland when they see the pictures, but when I show them a real finished furniture piece they change their minds. I usually include a high contrast wood with it, mahogany is nice or ebonized poplar really looks great.
