Domestic, Exotic, & Burl Flexible Wood Veneer Made in the USA.
Ash is one of the most versatile and resilient hardwoods found in North America. Highly prized for its unique combination of strength and flexibility, ash trees have long been a staple for everything from mid-century modern furniture to high-end architectural paneling.
Our premium wood veneer sheets allow you to bring this stunning aesthetic to your projects with ease, providing the look of solid timber with the efficiency of high-quality veneer.
One of the most remarkable traits of this wood is its "elasticity." Because of its long fibers, Ash is the gold standard for steam bending, a process used to create curved furniture parts without breaking the wood. Whether you are looking for a classic look or a complex radial design, our wood veneer sheets provide the durability and pliability you need.
On the Janka hardness scale, Ash proves it can handle heavy use while remaining surprisingly lightweight. Designers often choose Ash as a sophisticated alternative to Oak; while it shares a similar open grain pattern, Ash lacks the "medullary rays" (flecking) found in Oak, providing a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic.
We source our veneer from various types of ash trees to provide a full spectrum of colors and grain patterns:
White Ash (Fraxinus americana): Native to the Eastern U.S., this species is known for its light beige to creamy brown tones. It features a straight, open grain that looks stunning under a clear coat.
Black Ash (Fraxinus nigra): Often sold as "Brown Ash," this variety grows in colder northern climates. It offers a slightly darker, richer color profile.
European & Olive Ash: European Ash is generally lighter than American varieties. "Olive Ash" refers to the variegated heartwood, which features beautiful dark and light streaks.
Tamo Ash (Japanese Ash): A rare, highly figured wood known for its "peanut" or quilted grain. It is a favorite for luxury cabinetry and musical instruments.
To ensure we have the right fit for your project, we offer a wide range of Ash veneer in flat cut, rotary cut, and quarter cut patterns.
Standard Sheet Sizes:
4’x8’, 4’x10’, and 4’x12’

The Emerald Ash Borer beetle has significantly impacted the availability of certain ash trees in recent years. While we maintain a robust inventory, some specific grains or large sequences may require custom sourcing.
