It is the hardest wood in Europe. And it makes the most elegant formal hedge in the world.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA copper wall panel of the European Hornbeam — the distinctive fluted muscular trunk, the doubly-serrated leaves, the dense canopy of the most architecturally precise and most formally elegant of the European hardwood trees — hand-hammered in real copper sheet by our family using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques passed through generations. The distinctive fluted trunk and the doubly-serrated leaves are the composition: that muscular, sinuous trunk rendered in dimensional metalwork, the doubly-serrated leaves and dense canopy built up in fine relief, the quiet authority of a tree that has been shaping the great gardens of Europe for 400 years and the cogwheels of its mills for longer. In Natural Copper or Silver, the smooth grey tones echo the real bark. Every ridge of the fluted trunk, every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them. Over 10,000 pieces made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe European Hornbeam (\u003cem\u003eCarpinus betulus\u003c\/em\u003e) is native to Europe and western Asia — from Britain to Iran. Its distinctive fluted, muscular trunk is caused by the way the wood grows in irregular ridges — giving it the appearance of a tree made of muscle. It is the most important tree in the French formal garden tradition — used for pleached allées, hornbeam tunnels, and the great green walls of Versailles and every major European estate. It tolerates clipping better than almost any other tree — and retains its dead leaves through winter when clipped, providing year-round screening. The American Hornbeam (\u003cem\u003eCarpinus caroliniana\u003c\/em\u003e) — also called Musclewood or Ironwood — is the North American equivalent, with the same distinctive fluted trunk. Hornbeam wood was used for the cogwheels of early water mills, the heads of mallets and butchers’ chopping blocks, and the keys of early keyboard instruments. The most architecturally versatile, most formally essential, and most mechanically superior hardwood tree in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Can You Order With This Design?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e① Single panel — order directly above\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe European Hornbeam as shown, in your exact size and finish.
