Descripción
Wood of Fraxinus americana, native to Canada and the United States. It is a lightweight wood that is stiff, strong, and resilient. The sapwood is white and the heartwood ranges in color from light brown to reddish-brown. It is used for boat frames, church pews, sports equipment (baseball bats, hockey sticks, skis, paddles and oars, and tennis racket frames), and tools (handles of shovels, hammers, spades, hoes, and rakes as well as ladder rungs), and other products.
