Our Karelian birch story
Karelian birch wood since 2004
Curlybirchwood is a family business, which literally started to grow in 2004, when we planted the first small Karelian birch trees on the farm we inherited from our grandparents.
Curly birches, also known as Karelian birches, like any other living thing, need a lot of care in the beginning: watering, hand weeding, and protection from cute but very greedy roe deer. And then some more weeding, plus pruning and thinning. All this physical labor reminds us that we are an ancient rural people! This is how our Karelian birch trees keep us rooted in the countryside, despite the fact that we have lived in Tallinn with our family for a long time.
As owners of a curly birch plantation, we know all of our birch trees and work to bring out their best features. Curiosity has led us to experiment and succeed in both Karelian birch wood preservation experiments and veneer production. All so that you too can enjoy this Nordic beauty.
