Ash – American

White Ash (Fraxinus americana) is native to eastern and central North America and, along with Oak and Hickory, is one of the most widely used utility hardwoods in the US. It’s the tallest-growing of the North American ashes and the one you’ll see most often.
The color ranges from light beige to light brown, with medium to dark brown grain lines. The grain is usually straight and the texture coarse, often compared to Oak. It’s modestly priced, works easily, and glues and finishes well.
Ash is tough and shock-resistant, which is why it’s the classic wood for tool handles and baseball bats. It’s also used for furniture, flooring, boxes and turnings, and occasionally for electric guitar bodies, where it has good resonance. If you’re after a lighter ash for guitars, take a look at Swamp Ash.
Not listed in the CITES Appendices. Classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List because of the emerald ash borer, an invasive beetle that is killing ash trees across North America.
