ASH

Ash’s light to medium brown wood has a medium texture with a predictably straight, regular grain. The occasional figured specimen is a rarity. Ash responds well to both hand tools and machinery and is often converted to flooring or millwork. Its excellent shock resistance makes it particularly suitable for baseball bats and tool handles. The emerald ash borer presents a serious threat to the health of this species. Horizon is diligent about having all Ash inspected by the USDA prior to shipping. The good news is that kiln drying eradicates this pesky beetle.
