Betis wood is a sustainable building material obtained from the wood of the Betis tree, also known as Betula pendula. This tree species, also known as weeping birch or silver birch, is native to Europe. Betis wood is characterized by its strength, durability, and aesthetic beauty. It is often used for various construction and craft projects, including furniture manufacturing, flooring, paneling, and even in the shipbuilding industry. Due to its natural origin and sustainability, Betis wood is a popular choice for environmentally conscious builders and designers who seek high-quality materials with a minimal ecological footprint.
The oil extracted from the seeds is pressed for lighting purposes, while the bark and leaves are used in medicine.
