Ash wood is something most home owners are unaware of but if you look at it, they can be made into great furniture if they were manufactured and marketed to the public better. Today, we only know of ash wood as raw materials used in shovels used in gardening, making it underutilized in a potentially high demanding market.

As a furniture material, Kriegshauser says ash is underutilized. There are only so many shovel handles that you need, he says.

He says ash “is a little cantankerous to carve – it has soft and dense spots,” but he likes the ash medium for its beauty and natural pale color.

So if you are inclined to check out new materials for your furniture, you would be better checking out the line made from ash wood. They are not familiar materials that may heard but are bound to be furniture alternatives in the near future.
