Ash Wood for Woodturning and Carving

Ash Wood for Woodturning and Carving

Ash wood is highly valued for its strength, flexibility, and ease of use, making it ideal for turning and carving. With a density of 540–640 kg/m³, it is lightweight yet strong, allowing clean, controlled cuts.

Native to North America and botanically named Fraxinus americana, it’s great for turned handles, tops, dynamic figures, utility bowls, or decorative pieces. Its open grain and even texture allow for smooth finishes, especially with wax or oil. Our store offers versatile chisels, finishing oils, and abrasives to help you make the most of it.
