WHITE ASH

White ash is a type of hardwood known for its light-colored appearance and desirable mechanical properties. It is derived from the white ash tree, scientifically known as Fraxinus americana. The wood has a pale yellow to light brown hue with a distinct creamy white color in the sapwood. White ash is highly valued for its strength, hardness, and excellent shock resistance. It has a straight and even grain pattern, which makes it relatively easy to work with using both hand and machine tools. Due to its exceptional strength and flexibility, white ash is commonly used in applications that require high-performance wood. It is often utilized in the construction of furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and interior trim. White ash is also a popular choice for sporting goods such as baseball bats, hockey sticks, and tool handles because of its ability to withstand heavy impacts without splintering.
