Ash Hardwood S2S1E

S2S1E (surfaced 2 sides and 1 edge) Hardwoods are for the woodworker as the boards are partially dressed. Boards are “skip” surfaced on both faces with 1 edge clean-ripped. Skip surfaced cleans up most of the roughness to the board, but there could be an occasional rough patch on the faces of boards. Additional dressing and planning of the boards may be needed to complete your project. Since one edge is left rough, please allow a 1” variance in the width of the board. 

These boards are graded F.A.S. (First and Seconds) on the one side which can allow an occasional pin knot and small defect on the good side.  The back side can have a few knots, wane and other minor defects.  There can be an occasional end check (small crack at end of board).

 Ash is a light colored species with open grain and coarse texture like oak. Produces good results with hand or machine tools. Responds well to steam bending. Glues, stains, and finishes well.

If you would like a more finished board, please see our S4S Hardwoods.  Also, widths and lengths not listed on the online store may be available.  If you need a wider or longer board not listed here, please inquire at 800-244-6492 or via e-mail at Onlinesales@capitolcitylumber.com to check availability.
