Description: This is 2 pcs of wood for a blank. This is Swamp Ash Fraxinus Nigra "Black Ash", a true Northern Swamp Ash species unlike the harder White Ash. 2.0 inches thick, 23.0 long and 14.5 wide. They are rough planed but should be planed and jointed one pass on your jointer before glue up. Great wood that is now sadly on endangered status soon to be gone because of the Emerald Ash Borer infestation. Get it while you can! Red guitar is a sample of what was made from this same lot of wood.From Wikipedia: Black ash commonly occurs in swamps,[5] often with the closely related green ash. Its fall foliage is yellow. Black ash is one of the first trees to lose its leaves in the fall. It is very closely related to Manchurian ash, and will easily hybridize with it. Some consider the two to be geographic isolates of each other.[citation needed] The species was considered abundant and its survival of little concern prior to the invasion of the emerald ash borer, first detected in North America in 2002. However, since that time this invasive insect has spread throughout most of the tree's range, and within a few years black ash is expected to be all but extirpated; a similar fate awaits green ash. In 2014, a U.S. Forest Service agent estimated that "ninety-nine percent of the ashes in North America are probably going to die." Blue ash and white ash are only slightly less affected.[6]
