{"product_id":"ash","title":"Ash","description":"\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Ash is tough, elastic, and shock-resistant — qualities that have made it the wood of choice for tool handles, baseball bats, and sports equipment for over a century. Its creamy white to light tan heartwood, bold straight grain, and open pore structure give it a look similar to White Oak. It bends well under steam and finishes cleanly. Note: due to the Emerald Ash Borer, domestic Ash supply has tightened considerably — making in-stock availability a real advantage.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;table\u0026gt;\u0026lt;tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Latin name\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;Fraxinus americana\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Janka hardness\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;1,320 lbf\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Origin\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;Eastern North America\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Avg. dried weight\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;42 lbs \/ ft³\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Workability\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;td\u0026gt;Good\u0026lt;\/td\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/tr\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/table\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Common uses:\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; Tool handles · Sports equipment · Furniture · Flooring · Bentwood · Staircases\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Goliath Hardwoods","offers":[{"title":"4\/4 (1\")","offer_id":48280801312921,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\/4 (2\")","offer_id":48280801345689,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/hedgeswoodcraft.com\/products\/ash","provider":"Hedges Woodcraft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
