American Ash
Strong, flexible hardwood ideal for furniture, flooring, and joinery applications
American Ash is a premium hardwood known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding shock resistance. This makes it a popular choice for applications where durability and resilience are essential.
Ash steam-bends exceptionally well, which is why it’s a favourite among furniture makers, joiners, and hobbyists. Its hardness, stability when dry, and ease of finishing make it highly suitable for furniture manufacturing, flooring, and interior joinery.
Visually, American Ash is typically light in colour, with sapwood ranging from white to pale yellow and heartwood varying from light to dark brown, sometimes featuring lighter streaks. The grain is generally straight with a coarse, uniform texture and strong contrast between summer and winter growth rings—meaning no two boards are ever exactly the same.
