Yellow Birch () is a medium-hardness wood balancing workability and wear resistance, with a Janka hardness of 510 lbf (2268 N) and a density of about 0.62 g/cm³. It originates from north america.
With radial shrinkage of 7.3% and tangential shrinkage of 9.5% (a T/R ratio of 1.3), it is very stable in service, with low risk of cupping or distortion. Its fiber saturation point is around 29%, below which the wood begins to shrink and move as it dries.
