Product Description
FAS American Ash Sawn to Size
American Ash is an exceptional timber which can be steam bent and is very useful for interior joinery. While suitable for interior use you shouldn’t leave this timber exposed to the elements. Ash is a light brownish-white colour however, dark brown streaks can occur through the heartwood.
Some of the main uses of American Ash include furniture making, cabinet making, worktops, turnery, impact tool handles, sports equipment, panelling and even solid-body electric guitars. American Ash isn’t very durable when used outdoors and is perishable, so it is important that you only use it for interior applications.
This is one of the best timbers to work with in terms of shaping and treating and buying it cut to size is ideal if you want to plane the boards down yourself and do all of the machining and shaping. The boards will be rough sawn on all sides and edges. We saw down to your measurements leaving the boards slightly over length for you to cut down.
The timber is easily workable (and can be crafted using hand or machine tools) and can be glued and stained well when working with it.
At iWood Timber Merchants we have built our reputation on supplying quality timber, ensuring you have the greatest percentage of usable American Ash timber possible from your order.
Where does American Ash Come From?
The tree grows across Canada from Ontario down to Nova Scotia and in America from New England through to the Middle Atlantic and Central States. The trees reach approximately 15m-18m tall and have a diameter of around 0.75m.
The preferred growing conditions for an American Ash tree are deep, moist soils which have good drainage. They also like having full access to the sun for long periods of the day.
