Ash Bowl Blank

Ash is a strong, light-coloured hardwood with a bold, open grain that adds plenty of character to finished pieces. Its prominent growth rings give a striking, natural look — ideal for both traditional and contemporary turned work. It turns very well on the lathe, cutting cleanly with sharp tools and producing long, flowing shavings that reward both beginners and experienced turners alike.
