The light-colored, smooth-grained hardwood
Description
Ash trees grow along the east coast of the United States and in parts of Canada.
Ash wood is smooth to the touch and can come in varying shades of tone and lightness.
Ash wood’s beige-to-light brown hue and straight grain make it an ideal choice for fine furniture.
Properties & Uses
There are many timber products that can be made from ash wood, including staircases, moulding, timber frames, treads, and tools. Because of its remarkable elastic properties and suitability for steam bending, it is also popular for making bows, tool handles, baseball bats, and drum shells.
