Japanese ash, often called tamo, is a species native to East Asia recognized for its spectacular natural patterns. Some logs develop a particular formation in the wood that creates very distinctive circular and wavy shapes. Japanese ash veneer produces rich patterns and expressive surfaces that strongly capture light and immediately draw attention.
Japanese ash is particularly sought after in decorative veneer for the production of high-end furniture and architectural elements where a distinctive wood is desired. Highly appreciated in Japanese design and contemporary woodworking, it is used to create decorative panels, doors, or furniture surfaces where the wood becomes a central element of the design.
