It has a prominent grain that resembles oak, and a white to light brown colour. Ash can be differentiated from hickory (pecan) which it also resembles, by white dots in the darker summer wood which can be seen with the naked eye. Ash burls have a twisted, interwoven figure. This wood is often less expensive than comparable hardwoods.

Birch- Birch wood is similar to maple. It is light and has smooth graining, but it’s not as strong as maple ! Birch has a natural resonance that is suitable for a room with a piano or violin player.
