Black ash wood is 10 percent lighter in weight, meaning it is weaker, more limber, etc. Black ash is a commercially sold wood and even though it is not as good as the white ashes, it is excellent for cabinets, furniture, etc.
Black ash is also a preferred wood for making splints for baskets. It separates easily on the annual growth rings. The comments below were added after this Forum discussion was archived as a Knowledge Base article (add your comment). Comment from contributor A:
Comment from contributor B: I have used tounge and grove, v groove black ash lumber as wall paneling, both vertical and herringbone pattern at a 45 degree angle, and as flooring. It is a beautful look. Every knot in a board means it will have a bend right at the knot, making a problem to fit together. It's worth the effort. Anyone can buy cedar or pine at the lumber yard. A black ash wall is a unique feature in a home. As to air drying, all I have used was air dried only. I nearly forgot our black ash bathroom cabinets, raised panel doors. I would like to use more of it.
