Ash wood is divided into two types. The first, white ash, is obtained from the fraxinus americana which grows in North America and Europe, is very elastic and resistant but subject to woodworm. It is used in the construction of furniture and more rarely as an ornament. The second type, the common ash, is obtained from the fraxinus excelsior which grows in Europe, northwestern Africa and western Asia, and was used by English and American cabinetmakers to make chairs.
