Frequently Asked Questions

While it has moderate resistance to decay, it’s best suited for interior applications. For outdoor use, we recommend treating the wood with appropriate sealants or preservatives to enhance its durability against the elements.
How does European White Ash compare to American White Ash?
European White Ash and American White Ash share many similar characteristics. However, European White Ash tends to have a slightly higher density and strength, making it particularly valued for applications requiring durability and shock resistance.
Can it be used for steam bending?
Yes, it is excellent for steam bending due to its flexibility and strength. This property makes it ideal for creating curved components in furniture, boat building, and architectural applications.
What finish works best on European White Ash Lumber?
It takes well to a variety of finishes. For a natural look, clear varnishes or oils work well. If you prefer to alter the color, stains can be effectively applied before finishing. Always test your chosen finish on a small, inconspicuous area first.
