Roasted ash project block 1-1/2" – product of Canada

Roasted Ash is heat-treated to enhance both its appearance and performance, transforming traditional ash into a rich, chocolate-brown wood with deep, uniform colour. The roasting process reduces internal moisture and increases dimensional stability, making it less prone to movement while turning. With its smooth texture and refined grain, Roasted Ash cuts cleanly on the lathe and finishes to a warm, polished surface that highlights its modern, upscale look.
