Ash wood (Tamo wood) has a natural and elegant texture and high durability.
For those who want to "use furniture for a long time" and "feel the warmth of wood," ash wood is the ideal choice.
In this article, we will introduce the appeal of ash wood and the "FAS grade ash wood" that our company uses.
■ What is Ash Wood? What Kind of Wood is it?
Ash wood is a type of hardwood, sometimes called "Tamo wood" in Japan.
It is widely used for furniture and flooring, and the reasons for this are its following characteristics:
● Beautiful Grain and Natural Color
Ash wood is characterized by its strong and beautiful grain that stands out clearly.
It pairs well with Scandinavian or natural interior styles, adding warmth and serenity to a room.
● High Strength and Durability
Ash wood is known for being very hard and resilient,
making it impact-resistant and ideal for furniture that experiences daily stress, such as chairs, tables, and desks.
● Easy to Process and Less Prone to Warping
Despite its hardness, it is easy to process and less prone to warping or distortion, making it a highly trusted wood by furniture craftsmen.
■ What is FAS Grade? - The World's Highest Grade Ash Wood
At our company, we use "FAS (First And Seconds) grade" ash wood for furniture.
FAS grade is the highest grade in the North American lumber grading standards and meets the following conditions:
-
Virtually free of knots and defects
-
Wide areas of beautiful, uniform grain
-
Large usable area for products, minimizing waste
In other words, FAS grade ash wood is the highest quality wood, combining aesthetic beauty and functionality.
■ Why Our Furniture is Chosen: Our Commitment to FAS Grade Ash Wood
We aim to create "furniture you'll want to use for a lifetime," and to achieve this, we are thoroughly committed to our materials.
✅ Only FAS Grade Ash Wood is Used
While furniture found in mass retailers may include ash wood with many knots and color variations,
we at our company use a grade that makes no compromises in terms of visual appeal or quality.
✅ Careful Finishing by Skilled Craftsmen
We strive for a finish worthy of high-grade materials, paying attention to the smoothness of the wood grain and chamfering.
We value the fusion of the warmth unique to natural materials and modern design.
✅ Durability and sense of security for long-lasting use
FAS-grade ash is strong and durable. It is also resistant to scratches and dents, making it ideal for homes with children and restaurants.
■ Summary: The era of choosing furniture by "material"
While the design of furniture is important, the "quality of the material" is paramount for something used daily.
Ash wood, especially FAS-grade ash, offers not only aesthetic beauty but also the durability to last for many years.
We encourage those seeking truly good furniture to experience the difference for themselves.
