White Ash (Fraxinus americana) also know as American White Ash. This wood was found through out Eastren North America. However with the invasive Emerald Ash Borer introduced to North America approx. 25 years ago much of the Ash that once stood is now gone under the destructive forces of this tiny little beetle.
Our stock of Ash is limited and not sure if we will be able to replace it when gone but for now we do stock it.
Ash comes in at 1320 on the Jenka Hardness scale.
The heartwood is a light to medium brown color. Sapwood can be very wide, and tends to be a beige or light brown; not always clearly or sharply demarcated from heartwood.
White Ash produces good results with hand or machine tools. Responds well to steam bending. Glues, stains, and finishes well.
Stocked in 4/4 and 8/4 available in 5/4 and 6/4 by order.
