Red Ash
alphitonia excelsa
Another relatively new product for KFT, Red Ash has other common names such as ‘red almond’ and ‘Sarsparilla’.
Timber being very decorative is suitable for furniture, panelling and cabinetry. Having a nice straight grain it works easily and bends well whilst still being durable.
Not being a very large tree at maturity and not being susceptible to borers it makes for great narrow live edge boards for shelves and coffee tables.
