Alright, let’s talk about this LVL dancing beech timber, or whatever them fancy folks call it. I ain’t no expert, mind you, just tellin’ it like I see it.

What is this LVL stuff anyway?

Well, from what I gather, it ain’t just plain ol’ wood like we used to have. They take them thin pieces of wood, like them veneers they put on fancy furniture, and stick ’em all together with some strong glue. This makes it real strong and steady, so it don’t warp and twist like them regular boards sometimes do.

Now, this beech LVL, that’s somethin’ new, they say. Beech wood, it’s already tough as nails, they say. So, when they make it into this LVL stuff, it gets even tougher. Makes sense, I guess. You take somethin’ strong and make it stronger, that’s a good thing, right?

What they use it for, you ask?

• Well, they use it for them beams in houses, you know, the ones that hold up the roof. They call them “LVL beams” I hear. Used to be, they just used solid wood, but this LVL stuff, it’s stronger, they say, and lasts longer, maybe.
• And them I-joists, them things that look like an “I”. They use them in the floors, I think. Makes the floor strong and flat, so your furniture don’t wobble all over the place.
• They use it for other things too, like them truck beds, you know, the part where you haul stuff. And them signposts on the road, the ones that tell you where to go. Even them skateboards the kids ride, some of ’em are made of this stuff, can you believe it?
• And they even use this wood in boats, for them special panels they need. Fancy stuff, I tell ya.

Why is it better than regular wood, you wonder?

Well, like I said, it’s stronger. And it don’t warp and twist as much. That’s important, see, ’cause if your beams and joists start twisting, your whole house gonna be crooked. And nobody wants a crooked house, do they? And this beech wood, it’s real hard, they say. It don’t scratch and dent easy, so it lasts a long time. That’s a good thing, ’cause buildin’ a house ain’t cheap, you know.

How they make this stuff, you wanna know?

Well, they start with the trees, of course. Gotta cut ’em down, then they take ’em to the factory. There, they slice ’em up real thin, like I said, then they glue ’em all together. It’s a whole process, I reckon. Lots of machines and whatnot. I ain’t seen it myself, but that’s what they tell me.

Is it expensive?

Probably. Anything good is expensive these days, ain’t it? But if it lasts longer and makes your house stronger, then maybe it’s worth it in the long run. I don’t know, I ain’t made of money, but seems like a good investment to me, you know, if you’re building somethin’ that needs to last.

So, what’s the bottom line?

Well, this LVL dancing beech timber, it’s strong, it’s steady, and it lasts a long time. It’s good for buildin’ houses and all sorts of other things. It’s probably a bit pricey, but if you want somethin’ that’s gonna hold up, then it might be just the ticket. That’s all there is to it, I reckon.

Any questions?</p;

Good, ’cause I’m done talkin’ about it. My throat’s gettin’ dry.
