Cherry Birch.

buy Pregabalin uk next day delivery Speaking of “you are what you stack,” I was doing my usual winter work of splitting wood and I couldn’t help but admire this stick of cherry birch, Betula lenta.  This birch was known as “mahogany birch” for its beauty as a furniture wood, which you can see in this picture (look at the lovely red-toned heartwood).  It takes a stain very nicely too, and was used widely as a veneer wood.  The maroon inner bark, clearly visible in this picture, doesn’t show up in furniture much but it sure is pretty to look at, on a winter’s day.  The wood is even more desirable for furniture because it is rotten firewood, exceptionally stringy and difficult to split and not much of a burner either.  It doesn’t show up in my stove much – this piece came from a neighbor.
