The Facts on Beech

American Beech is found in southeastern Canada and in the eastern United States from Maine to northern Florida. Thick, rich, moist soils with good drainage are best for its growth. American Beech can attain a height of 120 ft. [37 m] and a diameter of approximately 4 ft. [1.2 m].

Marks, scratches, and imperfections are more noticeable on beech because of its hardness and close, even grain. The coarser grain of oak and ash hides marks better. A matte finish will help make marks less noticeable.
