Chestnut

This wood has a straight spiral grain and a coarse texture.

The main colour is a light brown, similar to the oak, but the chestnut doesn’t present the characteristic silvery ray texture that the oak has.

European chestnut wood is commonly used in construction for beams, boards, and framing due to its durability and resistance to decay.

It’s also favoured for high-quality furniture like tables and chairs, and valued for outdoor use in decking, fencing, and cladding due to its natural resistance to moisture and pests.

In flooring and interior joinery, chestnut is appreciated for its hardness and aesthetic appeal. It’s used in barrels for aging beverages, and in veneer and plywood for its fine grain.

Chestnut’s toughness makes it ideal for tool handles and agricultural implements, and it adds charm to rustic furniture and fixtures.
