The Look of Yellow Birch
Yellow Birch is a species with a close, straight grain that gives it a relatively even texture. Its boards sometimes have a curly or wavy look. Even when exposed to intense light, Yellow Birch has the advantage of showing minimal color variation. To maintain the wood’s elegance for many years, Mirage applies a UV protector at the finishing stage.
Yellow Birch is a creamy yellow or pale white: its heartwood is reddish-brown with red highlights.

The Facts on Yellow Birch
Yellow Birch grows primarily in Quebec, the northeastern United States, and the Great Lakes region. It can reach a height of 70 ft. [21 m] and a diameter of 2 ft. [0.6 m].
Marks, scratches, or imperfections are more visible on Yellow Birch because of its close, even grain and pale color. The coarser grain of oak and ash hides marks better. A matte finish will help make marks less noticeable.
