How does American White Ash compare to other hardwoods?

• Strength and hardness: It is a very strong and durable wood, making it ideal for high-impact applications.
• Light color: It has a creamy white to light brown color with a straight grain pattern.

Is American White Ash a good choice for outdoor projects?

American White Ash is not naturally resistant to decay and insects, so it's not recommended for outdoor use without proper treatment and finishing. If you plan to use it outdoors, be sure to apply a protective finish that is specifically designed for exterior use.

How do I finish American White Ash?

American White Ash can be finished with a variety of products, including oil-based finishes, water-based finishes, and stains. Oil-based finishes tend to enhance the natural beauty of the wood, while water-based finishes are more environmentally friendly. Stains can be used to change the color of the wood to match your desired aesthetic.

For a high-quality and natural finish, we recommend Rubio Monocoat. It enhances the beauty of the wood while providing excellent protection.

Before applying any finish, be sure to sand the wood smooth and remove any dust or debris. Always test the finish on a scrap piece of ash first to ensure you're happy with the results.
