Color and texture：
The color range of ash bark is wide, the heartwood color varies from light brown to dark brown, and the sapwood is generally light milky color. Its wood grain is obvious, coarse-grained and uniform, with a rough and natural aesthetic feeling.
In terms of texture, ash bark shows rough and natural lines, especially North American ash wood, whose texture is rough and uniform, and rich color variations, from light cream white to grayish brown or dark brown, making ash bark visually highly recognizable.
Gloss:
After grinding and polishing, the surface can show a higher gloss, making the overall look more beautiful and advanced.

Density and hardness:
Ash wood has a high density, and the dry gas density is between 0.60 and 0.69g/cm³, and some data even mention that it can reach 0.60 to 0.72g/cm³. This makes ash bark show high hardness and strength in physical properties, and can withstand greater pressure and weight.
Corrosion and decay resistance:
Ash wood has a very strong corrosion resistance, so ash bark also has this advantage. This allows ash bark to maintain good stability and durability in wet or corrosive environments.
Dry shrinkage:
Ash wood has a moderate shrinkage coefficient, but cracks may appear when rapidly drying. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the control of the drying process when processing ash veneer to avoid cracking and other problems.

Cutting and grinding:
Ash wood is easy to be processed and polished by cutting tools, which makes it easy to achieve a variety of complex design effects during the processing of ash bark. At the same time, its section is smooth, which is convenient for subsequent painting and adhesive treatment.
Fixed performance:
It should be noted that ash wood is easy to crack when fixed with nails, screws and glue, so these fixing methods need to be avoided when processing ash bark. Instead, the surface quality can be improved through processes such as dyeing and polishing.

Furniture Manufacturing:
Because of its beautiful texture and excellent physical properties, ash bark is often used in the veneer decoration of high-end furniture. It can not only enhance the visual effect and grade sense of furniture, but also increase the durability of furniture.
Interior decoration：
Ash veneer can also be used in various areas of interior decoration, such as walls, ceilings, flooring. Its natural texture and soft gloss can bring a warm and harmonious atmosphere to the interior space.
Crafts Production:
Because ash bark is easy to process and carve, it is also widely used in the production of various crafts. These crafts not only have artistic value, but also have high practical value.
