English Ash
Since our founding in 1886, we’ve been working with English Ash at East Brothers. Locally sourced, we believe this timber is underutilised, and we’re eager to see that change!

Why use English Ash
English Ash is a prized hardwood, valued for its pale, creamy-white to light brown color and smooth texture. Its straight grain, occasionally highlighted by waves or curls, adds visual appeal and versatility.
We believe it’s an excellent choice for flooring, as this resilient wood offers great shock resistance, making it ideal for tool handles and sports equipment as well.
