Ash

Heartwood is light to medium brown in colour. Sapwood can be very wide and tends to be beige or light brown; not always clearly or sharply demarcated form heartwood.

Medium to coarse texture similar to oak. Grain is almost always straight and regular; sometimes moderately curly or figured boards can be found.

Produces good results with hand or machine tools. Responds well to steam bending. Glues, stains and finishes well.
