Rustic Ash
History and Characteristics of Rustic Ash
Ash is a light brown to blonde specie of wood in appearance. The grains, texture and density are very similar to oak. By looking at the end grain of Ash you can see a distinct difference from Oak. Ash lumber also has a unique smell when freshly cut and has produced wider boards and beams due to the size of the trees. Stain and other finishes can be easily applied allowing for a customized look.
Specifications
- New Rustic solid wood flooring is normally milled to 3/4″ thickness .
- Vintage Lumber is also able to meet customer’s requirements for both thinner (minimum 3/8”) and thicker solid flooring.
- Most of our solid flooring is produced in random widths(RW) from 2” to 10”, on the full inch face. Typical RW ranges are 3” to 6”(3,4,5,6), 3” to 8”, 7” to 10”, or any combination needed. Board widths of over 20” are sometimes available in certain species. The wider the widths required, the higher the costs. Our RW flooring is usually not sold as a repeating pattern(equal lineal feet of each width). For prompt filling of orders, we base our RW counts on available widths in inventory, and we calculate a 9 or 10 board width sequence to facilitate installation to avoid all of one width remaining at the end.
