1.5" Kiln Dried American White Ash

American Ash Hardwood Timber

Main Uses of Ash Hardwood Timber

Furniture, flooring, doors, architectural millwork and moulding, kitchen cabinets, panelling, tool handles, sporting equipment, stair parts and turnings.

Appearance

The sapwood is light-coloured to nearly white and the heartwood varies from greyish or light brown, to pale yellow streaked with brown. The wood is generally straight-grained with a uniform texture. Properties will vary according to the growing regions.

Grain/Texture

Ash hardwood timber has a medium to coarse texture similar to oak. The grain is almost always straight & regular, though sometimes moderately curly or figured boards can be found.

Working properties

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

Physical Properties

Ash hardwood timber has very good overall strength properties relative to its weight and has excellent shock resistance (Hurleys as an example…Although usually made from Irish ash)
