American White Ash

American White Ash is prized by craftspeople and joiners for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and striking grain patterns. This North American hardwood delivers outstanding shock resistance and workability, making it a go-to choice for furniture makers, sports equipment manufacturers, and interior fitout specialists who demand both performance and visual appeal.

Our American White Ash Selection

We stock quality ash timber in various dimensions to suit diverse woodworking applications:

• Kiln-dried boards with consistent moisture content for stable, warp-resistant finished pieces
• Clear and select grades offering clean surfaces ideal for premium furniture and cabinetry
• Various thicknesses from thin stock for steam bending through to heavy sections for structural components
• Long lengths available for continuous runs in flooring, panelling, and bespoke joinery projects
• Excellent machining characteristics allowing crisp edges, smooth planing, and reliable glue joints

For projects requiring different timber species, explore our complete Hardwoods collection, or consider American Walnut for richer, darker tones in your work.

Selecting the right grade and dimension depends on your end use. For furniture and visible joinery, opt for higher grades with minimal defects. Workshop jigs, tool handles, and utilitarian pieces can use character grades that offer excellent value whilst maintaining the timber's renowned mechanical properties.
