Main essence:

Beech

It is a semi-hard wood which, unfortunately, is easily wormed, therefore it is considered poor. Due to its light but variegated shades, from blond to reddish, it was nevertheless appreciated by French cabinetmakers. It was mainly used for furniture structures or, as an alternative to walnut, by provincial English furniture makers for popular works, mostly in the 1700s. The noblest use is due to Thonèt, who applied the steam bending of the beech in the making of the furniture, in particular for the chairs that took his name.

Larch

Coniferous wood, however relatively hard, with a reddish grain, typical of the Alps and the Apennines. It is very resistant to moisture and woodworm. In cabinet making it was used above all for the construction of furniture structures and in France, with the name of bois de mélèze , sporadically for inlays.
