Full description

Ash wood is a strong, flexible hardwood most commonly sourced from trees of the Fraxinus genus. It is typically light in color, ranging from pale cream to light brown, often with a subtle, attractive grain pattern that can resemble oak but with a smoother texture.

Known for its excellent shock resistance and elasticity, ash is widely used in products that require both strength and flexibility, such as tool handles, sports equipment (like baseball bats), and furniture.

Think of spalting as "decorative wood rot."

It happens when fungi move into a log and start eating it. Here is the simplest way to look at it:

The Black Lines: These are "fences" built by different types of fungi. When two different fungus colonies meet, they draw a black line in the wood to protect their territory.

The Colors: Some fungi act like a dye, staining the wood blue, pink, or gray as they grow through it.

The Bleaching: Some fungi eat the wood's color, leaving behind white, pale patches.
