European Ash Sharp-edge Drying kiln
European Ash C/V KD is a hardwood prized for its strength , elasticity, and versatility , qualities that make it an excellent choice for carpentry projects, furniture, and the manufacture of decorative elements. The KD ( Kiln Dried) treatment guarantees chamber drying, which improves the wood's stability and facilitates machining.
European ash has a color ranging from white to light brown, with a distinctive grain that gives it an elegant and natural appearance. It is also notable for its ability to be bent, turned, stained, and treated, offering great versatility in various applications.
European Ash C/V KD: strength and ease of processing
European Ash C/V KD wood combines good mechanical strength with excellent machinability. Its medium hardness and impact resistance make it a highly valued wood for parts subjected to heavy use.
Chamber drying (KD) improves the dimensional stability of wood, facilitating transformation processes and helping to reduce movements resulting from humidity variations.
European Ash Wood: stability and natural appearance
European ash has an approximate density of 690 kg/m³ at 12% moisture content , classifying it as a medium-weight wood . It exhibits a volumetric shrinkage coefficient of 0.45% and a shrinkage-to-shrinkage ratio of 1.64 , characteristics that indicate a wood with little tendency to warp .
Its distinctive grain and light color allow for high-quality finishes, adapting to both contemporary designs and projects with a more classic aesthetic.
