The longest lengths can be from 10 to 14 feet, and the widths can be from 2¼″ up to 7″. Moisture content is between 6% and 8% for quick acclimation. Curly Birch flooring is only found unfinished, but prefinished solid or engineered can be custom-made with a veneer top layer.

It is relatively easy to sand with flooring equipment, but professional sanding and finishing is recommended.
