Description
Ash grown in the Northern states of U.S.A. is slower grown and in the main tougher compared to Southern productions. Light brown heartwood is also more prevalent, however our stock is selected as free from colour as possible.
Production: S/E, S/E PTW, DIM.
Both Northern and Southern productions are in the main Crown Cut.
Fraxinus americana
Family: Oleaceae
Commercial names: White Ash, Brown Ash.
Distribution: USA & Canada.
General description: Creamy white to a light brown heartwood with wide white sapwood. Generally straight grained but mainly crown cut with a coarse but even texture. Has a pronounced grain pattern similar to Oak and is often stained as a substitute. Weighs around 660 kg/m3 (41lb/ft3); specific gravity 0.66.
Mechanical properties: Wood bending properties are variable, but
generally very good, although not tolerant of pin knots in steam bending. The wood has good strength, elasticity, toughness, stiffness and hardness qualities allied to its relatively light weight. Excellent shock resistance. Terms such as "tough", "soft" and "medium" texture are used to indicate the source of origin. Generally tough Ash is more brown and grows in the Northern/ Appalachian regions. The soft/medium textured timber is whiter and creamier in colour and grows predominantly in the Southern States.
