Ash Wood

The Origins of Ash Wood

Ash wood trees are prevalently found in North America, particularly in Canada. The name “ash” comes from the word “spear”, as the leaves on these trees are often spear-shaped. It was also believed that ancient Nordic people used the wood from the Ash tree to make weaponry!

In recent times, Ashwood is still famous among the North American and European community for weaponry making such as the handles of hunting knives or wooden platings of guns. It’s also commonly used to make baseball bats as well .

Ash Wood Durability

One of the most common indicators of durability in the industry is the Janka scale which ranges from 0 to 4,000. A ranking of 0 means the lumber is very soft and not suitable for dining table usage. A ranking of 4,000 means that the lumber is extremely hard and difficult to mill. Ashwood has a hardness rating of 1,320 placing it in the acceptable range for solid wood dining tables with other popular wood types such as Walnut and Oak.

Ashwood’s hardness also ensures that it has exceptional shock resistance. This is also the reason why this timber is used to make baseball bats as it does not split or crack easily upon high impact. As such, Ashwood dining tables are immensely beneficial for homeowners, as they would not dent easily. Ashwood is a versatile wood species that is extremely durable, making it an ideal choice of material for your dining table. Its excellent shock resistance ensures that an Ashwood dining table is one that will last for decades to come

Colour and Texture of Ash Wood

Ash wood has a versatile beige to light-brown colour tone. This light tone is easy to match with most interiors. It works particularly well in homes that are going for a Japanese or Scandinavian style interior as it blends well with the light brown aesthetic. However, one of the biggest advantages Ashwood has over other wood types is that it absorbs wood stains well. This allows homeowners to change the tone of their Ashwood dining table to any colour that works best for their home.

In terms of wood grains, Ashwood almost always has straight grains giving it a neat look. However, on rare occasions, there may be unique grain patterns such as swirls that are formed due to the varying conditions that the tree grew in.
