Beech is an important and widely-used hardwood in Europe. Its hardness, wear-resistance, strength, and excellent bending capabilities—coupled with its low price—make this hardwood a mainstay for many European woodworkers. Given the right soil conditions, European beech trees can grow to very large sizes, and wide, long lumber is commonly available for use.

Beech trees can form large flared trunks with partially exposed roots, attaining trunk diameters up to 10 feet (3 meters) across, though trees harvested for commercial lumber are typically much smaller than this. Mature beech trees and their associated forests are popular areas for photography and even movie filming for their unique and picturesque appearance (see image below).
