Veneer wood. Only very good blocks are used as sliced ​​wood. Also rotary cut veneer, furniture, door industry, and construction wood.

Burma Teak Veneer Quarter is renowned for its golden to medium brown color with a straight, smooth grain and a natural luster. It is easy to machine and finishes well, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Proper surface preparation ensures excellent gluing results.

Tiny knots in the grain resemble small bird’s eyes. The figure is reportedly caused by unfavorable growing conditions for the tree. The tree attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions the new shoots are aborted, and afterward, some tiny knots remain.

Greater importance as rotary birch for the furniture and panel industry (popular wood for bedrooms in the 1950s); and table and chair production. Very popular firewood. In larger dimensions (rarely) also produced as knife birch. The majority of the knife-cut birch is "yellow birch" from the USA.
