Understanding American White Ash
Choosing a timber that has the right look for your project is one of the first things that you should consider. American white Ash has a distinctive colour that stands out from other timbers. The heartwood of American white Ash is a light to medium brown colour while the sapwood is more beige. One of the great benefits of American white Ash is the fact that there is no sharp contrast between the hardwood and the sapwood, making it easier and more versatile to work with.
The grain has a medium-coarse texture to it, in many ways it’s similar in texture to Oak though the colours differ. The green is almost exclusively straight and regular, though if you’re looking for something with a slight curve then American white Ash is probably most suited for your project. This makes it an ideal choice for furniture as the natural grain is visually stunning to look at and the medium coarse texture, is quite easy to work with.
