Ash offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, providing structural reliability without excessive mass, which is especially advantageous in furniture and component manufacturing.
The wood machines exceptionally well, allowing for clean cuts, smooth sanding, and precise detailing. It readily accepts stains, paints, and clear finishes, making it highly adaptable to a wide range of design styles—from contemporary to traditional. Common uses include furniture frames, cabinetry components, mouldings, stair parts, and architectural millwork.
Our ash lumber is carefully selected and kiln dried to achieve consistent moisture content and dimensional stability. This controlled process helps minimize movement and ensures dependable, repeatable performance across production runs, supporting efficient manufacturing and long-term product quality.
