Honest Answers for Informed Decisions
“Is Ash durable enough for kitchens?”
Yes — especially when sealed correctly (as we do). American Ash is a tough, hard hardwood that handles daily use well.
“How does face grain compare to edge or end grain?”
Face grain is more visual — smoother, cleaner, and more affordable. If you need extra strength for heavy prep work, edge or end grain is recommended.
“Does Ash yellow over time?”
It develops a gentle golden tone with age and light exposure — still lighter than many hardwoods, and easy to pair with light cabinetry or stone.
Simple. Striking. Easy to Live With.
