Color: The heartwood is a light to medium brown color. Sapwood can be very wide, and tends to be a beige or light brown; not always clearly or sharply differentiated from heartwood.
Grain/Texture: Has a medium to coarse texture similar to oak. The grain is almost always straight and regular, though sometimes moderately curly or figured boards can be found. This grain is quartersawn so some texture will be exaggerated. .
Endgrain: Ring-porous; large earlywood pores 2-4 rows wide, small latewood pores solitary and radial multiples.
Rot resistance: Heartwood is rated as perishable, or only slightly durable in regard to decay. Ash is also not resistant to insect attack. Best for interiors.
Workability: Produces good results with hand or machine tools. Responds well to steam bending. Glues, stains, and finishes well.
Our lumber undergoes a specialized drying process in a large kiln, which removes moisture and results in a more stable and high-quality product. The kiln drying process helps to minimize the risk of warping, splitting, or twisting that is often associated with green or air-dried wood.
Our price is per board foot. Should you need help calculating how much you have or will need for your project, feel free to contact us!
