White Ash

Hardness: 5.9 Stability: Good

Almost white with just a hint of yellow and beige – and with a deeply defined grain – Ash is a beautiful and under-used flooring wood. Because of its hardness and light color, Ash is a very difficult wood to stain. However, its natural color for those who are looking for a light floor is simply gorgeous. Most of our Ash comes from around the Canadian border, so it’s slow grown in a cooler climate, which makes it harder and more durable than oak. Why else would they make baseball bats out of it?
