If a specialist does a longitudinal saw, he can see a very beautiful natural pattern. When wood has been stored for several years, it becomes darker. The color becomes dark red. But it’s not just for that reason that the old beech is valued more than the young beech. It also becomes very durable, almost like an oak.
