American White Ash, scientifically known as Fraxinus spp.
American White Ash is primarily distributed throughout various regions in the eastern United States. Depending on the growth area and market supply, the lumber is categorized into "Northern White Ash" and "Southern White Ash." The wood is divided into light-colored sapwood and brownish-yellow heartwood. It is also commonly referred to as ash or linden due to the numerous commercial varieties within the species.
The outer light-colored sapwood and inner dark white or even brown heartwood exhibit a noticeable color difference. With an air-dry specific gravity ranging from 0.60 to 0.72 g/cm3, the wood has high density and is relatively resistant to decay. It features a rough but uniform texture, is hard in nature, and possesses excellent processing properties. Its low drying shrinkage minimizes deformation, and it can be stained and polished to achieve a fine surface.
Featuring a fresh grain pattern with natural texture
American White Ash showcases a uniform grain pattern, presenting two types of grain orientations, namely cathedral and straight grain, due to its light color tone. It is relatively easy to process into other colors.
Durable and resistant to decay and corrosion
Due to its exceptionally strong and stable material, American White Ash is versatile and exhibits high variability in applications. Its outstanding toughness and high resistance to decay and corrosion make it suitable for a wide range of uses.
