Beautiful pattern, hardness and strength make this wood especially valuable. Karelian birch is easily distinguished by dark brown inclusions on a light background.

Such wood is used as ornamental material, as well as in high-end furniture production. Since the population of Karelian birch is actively declining, birch veneer is increasingly used in surface decoration instead of solid wood.
