Stanwell does indeed make a beechwood pipe, it is part of a celebratory set of some kind, I think to commemorate Stanwell's war time years, when briar was unavailable. As for the smoking qualities, I have no idea

I've never smoked one, so I have no concrete info,
but here's a page with a little more and nice pix,

...part of the text sez:
"You may smoke both pipes, but smoking the beech wood pipe please be careful.
Beech wood burns more easily then briar. Don’t smoke it too hot."
The Danish Pipe Shop actually has a set on sale at the moment,

If you only want the beechwood, I can recommend William as an excellent seller,
for 30 euro at the bottom of this page,

I'd be highly interested to hear about your experience if you do end up getting one.

Here's a toast to all of the non-briar wood pipes including this beechwood, pear wood, rosewood,
Mountain Laurel, and others; and equally a toast to that ancient fellow or woman who must have found
briar roots leftover after a lightning ignited burn in a wooded area and decided this briar wood might
make a good tobacco pipe. It equalled or exceeded in various ways other woods, corn cobs and clay.
For which discovery of briar we are entirely grateful.

It would have to be better than a cob, IMO. Line the bowl with honey to get an instant carbon cake, then easy does-it. :
