Sideboards made of beech heartwood for more order in the house

With sideboards you can create order in your home, especially if they fit into your rooms to the millimetre. This is guaranteed by Pickawood UK's made-to-measure production. The sideboards made of beech heartwood adapt to your rooms - not the other way round. With Pickawood UK's made-to-measure work, you save valuable space. The modern sideboard follows the traditional chest of drawers, which originally served as a medium-sized and box-shaped piece of furniture with its drawers for storing all kinds of odds and ends. Various accessories were also placed on it in historical times. The modern sideboard follows this model to a certain extent, but has evolved into a mini cupboard: it is equipped with doors, compartments, drawers and often also glass elements. Today's sideboards are also wider than their historical predecessors, but usually somewhat lower. This corresponds to our contemporary ideas of living. Rooms should appear more open and brighter, which is why furniture tends to be more compact. Pickawood UK's made-to-measure products are a perfect match. In addition to the sideboards, Pickawood UK also offers you highboards and lowboards that are correspondingly higher or lower than the sideboards. Made to measure solid wood is important for your living comfort. Heartwood beech is ideal for this purpose.

Heartwood beech as a beautiful solid wood for sideboards

Heartwood beech is the red heart of Fagus sylvatica (beech) wood, which is robust, dark and therefore visually very attractive. Our carpenters and the entire furniture industry often call this wood wild beech. Heartwood is strikingly and vividly grained, which clearly distinguishes it from the other wood of the copper beech. This very pretty pattern, which can even appear wild and rampant, is what makes sideboards made of heartwood beech so popular. They are a real eye-catcher in the home and appear extraordinarily decorative. At the same time, heartwood is strong and tough, but also elastic and therefore flexible. Our carpenters love to work with it. It is a rarer wood, because only the inner trunk of older beech trees can be heartwood. When you order a sideboard made of beech heartwood from Pickawood UK, you are purchasing a valuable piece of furniture that is also so durable that you will probably keep it for decades and possibly pass it on. Why beech heartwood has its peculiar, unmistakable colouring and pattern is currently (2022) still the subject of scientific research. There are even very different theories on this. The arborist Hans Heinrich Bosshard believes that physiological changes (including oxidation) inside the trunk trigger this colour and pattern, which are triggered by very specific external circumstances. This is why Bosshard calls the heartwood of beech "facultative heartwood" (can develop, but does not have to). His colleague Alex L. Shigo, on the other hand, believes that damage to the tree bark triggers organic processes inside the trunk that trigger this colour and the pattern of the heartwood. Whoever of the experts is right: You can be sure that you will enjoy a sideboard made of beech heartwood from Pickawood UK for a very long time.
