Red Birch Wood
The heartwood of the birch tree, distinguished from white birch (sapwood) by its warm reddish-brown to salmon-pink color. Red birch has a fine, uniform grain similar to maple and takes stain well, producing rich, warm tones. It is less common than yellow birch in cabinet manufacturing but is sought after for its natural warmth without stain. Red birch is a hardwood with good durability for cabinet construction.
