Popular wood: ash for your new sideboard from Pickawood UK

Our customers love to order free-standing and hanging sideboards or even open lowboards made of ash. There are numerous species of ash in Europe and North America. Like beech, ash is a so-called facultative heartwood producer. Its colour heartwood forms when the tree is around 40 years old, for which exogenous factors are always responsible (for example, a cut in the tree or a break). Among all hardwoods, ash is one of the most important furnishing woods and thus plays a prominent role in furniture making. As a sideboard, it impresses with its light colour and ring-porous structure: both result in an immensely decorative wood appearance. In some cases, the rather rare olive heartwood is added, which gives the wood a particularly decorative appearance. A brown heart can also be found, which has been upgraded in recent times since customers are more frequently opting for vividly coloured woods, such as those represented by red-core beech, among others. On average, however, the heartwood takes on the white to yellowish colour of the very broad sapwood. Very rarely, we see a striped olive-brown colour core in Ash, which is even comparable to olive wood. Multi-rowed, large early wood pores show the growth zone boundaries in ash. On the longitudinal surfaces they form distinctive radial stripes and tangential veins. We practically never see cross-grain or alternating twisted growth in ash. The richly textured wood is highly decorative, hard and very elastic. With such properties, it is predestined for a custom made sideboard from Pickawood UK.

Ash sideboard - gladly made by our carpenters

Our carpenters love to work with ash and make high-quality sideboards from it because its wood can be cleanly sawn, sliced, peeled, bent, turned, nailed, screwed and glued. With pore filler, we can even lighten the appearance of ash by so-called liming. We are happy to varnish it with UV protective varnish to prevent yellowing. We always dry your wood gently to prevent cracks and warping. According to DIN-EN 350-2, ash wood has a natural durability of class 5, which makes it particularly suitable for light furniture such as sideboards. Decorative veneers, stairs and flooring are also often made of ash. There are other areas where the wood is used, such as the construction of sports equipment, tool handles, musical instruments, ladders and boat oars. Thermal modification can further increase durability and dimensional stability. An individual piece of furniture made of ash is a real eye-catcher, as you can easily see from the photos of individual sideboards that our customers have sent us. You can see them in our customer gallery. There you will also find some inspiration for your ash sideboard, which you can configure yourself.
