Beech Boards, Milled and Air-Dried

Beech is very hard, tough and strong and takes a fine polish; it went into plane, handsaw and chisel handles (USDA, 1913). It is difficult to season and checks in drying, and it rots if left outdoors. Mill the log as for oak, keep the heartwood apart from the sapwood, and dry the boards slowly under cover. The picture: freshly cut beech stems in the Silesian Beskids.

The milling method

Setting up the mill and the guide board, as for pine.
2

Mill the boards

Mill a straight beech log into boards a few millimetres over 25 mm (our size). Beech is hard and may crack in milling: feed slowly and keep the chain sharp.

Heart and sap apart

Sort the boards: the darker heartwood is what nearly every use wants; the pale sapwood is seldom wanted (USDA 1913). Stack them separately.

Seal the ends

Coat both ends of every board with wax end sealer the same day.

Sticker under cover

Stack on a level base off the ground with stickers one above the other, in shade, cover the top against rain and weight the stack. Beech checks in drying and rots if it stays wet.

Measure, then bring indoors

Read a board from the middle of the stack each season, and bring the boards indoors when they stop drying out of doors (as for oak).
