Bring strength, bold grain, and excellent turning performance to your next project with these ash project blocks. Ash is a classic Canadian hardwood prized by woodturners for its toughness, resilience, and lively grain pattern. It cuts cleanly with sharp tools, holds crisp details, and offers a great balance of strength and workability—making it a solid choice for both beginners and experienced turners.
What are the dimensions of this block?
Each block measures approximately 3" square × 6" long, providing ample material for shorter peppermills, tool handles, or thicker turning projects. The wood is skip planed, meaning only the high points have been lightly planed, leaving a natural, textured surface that’s ideal for turning.
The image is a representation only. Your blanks will be selected at random and may differ from the image somewhat in colour or pattern - wood is a natural product and no two pieces are alike.
Fun facts about ash:
Ash is known for its excellent shock resistance, which is why it has traditionally been used for tool handles, baseball bats, and other high-impact applications.
Its open, straight grain creates bold visual contrast and responds beautifully to clear finishes that highlight the natural texture.
Price per block in Canadian dollars.
