Bryan Tyler Nelson		ASH
	Ash ( Fraxinus Americana) Ash is a domestic hardwood. This wood is strong and stiff, has good shock resistance and is noted for its excellent bending qualities. It is ring-porous with a distinct figure. It has a coarse and generally straight grain with an almost white sapwood and pale brown heartwood. It is also often used as material for electric guitar bodies and, less commonly, for acoustic guitar bodies, known for its bright, cutting tone and sustaining quality. They are also used for making drum shells. Interior joinery is another common user of both European Ash and White Ash. Ash veneers are extensively used in office furnit. The re colored wood seen in the pictures below is Bloodwood.
