Description
The biggest hornbeam tree in Blekinge, with a circumference of 593 cm, takes pride of place in Hobykulle in Bräkne-Hoby.
In the past, hornbeam was used for items that would suffer hard wear, knocks and pressure, e.g. machinery parts, runners, pegs, bowling balls, wooden clubs, cogs and handles for tools. Today hornbeam is often replaced with more modern materials but it is still used for tool handles, workbenches, piano hammers, brushes, nutcrackers, chopping boards and chopping blocks.
Hornbeam is rarely cut for logs as there is little access to larger dimensions in Sweden. Instead, the fuel market is the main buyer of hornbeam. Hornbeam is the Swedish wood with the highest fuel value per unit of volume.
