Oak vs. Ash - Sawmill Creek
2005年10月18日 · Ash tends to be lighter in color, but has a similar grain contrast and pattern. On cathedral gain, ash tends to be more oval at the tips, where oak tends to be more wavy.

In lieu of Maple, which is better for a workbench Bur Oak or Ash?
2014年6月3日 · Porous woods like oak and ash tear out in a somewhat more ugly way than maple when the bench is flattened.

Ash vs maple for workbench top - Sawmill Creek

Yet, on my samples, the red oak seems to bleach out better. The white oak seems to have a light greenish, yellowish tint. Anyone else have experience with bleaching red and white oak?
