Ash (Fraxinus americana) has a light brown heartwood with almost all white sapwood. The wood has straight, coarse, open-pored grain of even texture. Ash can be worked effectively with sharp hand tools and power tools with carbide cutters. Common uses for Ash include cabinets, chairs, flooring, food containers, tool handles and sporting implements. Ash is the preferred material for hockey sticks, polo mallets, traditional snowshoes, and the bats used in major league baseball.
