Where online can I view detailed pictures which show the wood grain,
patterning and colour?

I'm interested in flat panels of beech and oak.

I guess I could put a sheet of oak on the scanner for you..:-()

It worked with balsa..


Beech is as dull as ditchwater grain wise. Thats not its best feature.

Do you _ever_ post anything that's not Drivel?

European Beech is one of the most distinctive UK timbers you could find
- it's one of the few that most woodworkers can easily recognise
accurately. Just look for the little dark flecks from the rays.

All the time. I spent most of this winter splitting beech logs.

Its a fine grained wood, very little variation in grain at all . Nearly
as dull as birch.

Exactly. Dull as ditchwater.

I never said it wasn't distinctive, I said it was dull.
Its distinctive by its dullness.

Now next time try and address what was actually written, and not get on
some personal vendetta, and spout off about what your prejudices thought
someone had posted.

Wow, I never knew there were so many variants of these woods. Thank you.
