Country of Origin: USA

About Ash:
Ash is an amazingly dense and durable wood with a unique elasticity. (It’s the traditional wood used for baseball bats.) These qualities also make Ash a great choice for radiant heat, concrete slab foundations or anywhere humidity is a factor.

From an aesthetic standpoint, Ash is prized for its interesting grain patterns and striking hues, from the cream-colored and light almond outer portions of the tree to the rich nutty brown heartwood.

The sapwood of white ash is creamy white, while the heartwood ranges from light tan to dark brown. The grain is bold and straight, with an occasional wavy pattern; and in plain-sawn boards it can have a strong contrast. The wood has a lustrous appearance, and the texture is rather coarse.

Natural or unstained, Ash offers a very sophisticated look with high impact resistance.
