American White Ash
Ash has a clean, architectural quality that suits contemporary kitchens well. The grain is pronounced and directional — more visual movement than beech, less than oak. The olive undertone works particularly well against white cabinetry and grey stone.
Light to medium brown with olive undertones

Finishing this species
