Ash

American ash is similar in appearance to European ash. The sapwood is
light coloured to nearly white and the heartwood varies from greyish brown
to light brown, to pale yellow streaked with brown. The wood is generally
straight grained with a coarse uniform texture. The degree and availability
of light coloured sapwood, and other properties, will vary according to the
growing regions.

Ash machines well, is good in nailing, screwing and gluing, and can be stained
and polished to a very good finish. It dries fairly easily with minimal degrade,
and there is little movement in performance.



Mainly Used For: Furniture, flooring, doors, architectural interiors, high
class joinery and moulding, kitchen cabinets, panelling, tool handles, sports
goods and turning.
