Ash sample
Ordered a small ash sample...had a guitar repair project where I just needed a very small piece of Ash to repair an existing guitar. The sample I received in the mail was delivered quickly and was a very good quality. On my next woodworking project when I do need some hardwood I will not hesitate to order from this company

Ash Hardwood Sample
The Ash sample was fine. I used it to test dye stain , grain filler and poly finish prior to finishing an Ash guitar body.

Perfect sample for my needs
I purchased this sample to test grain filling, dying, and finishing with a clear rub on poly before I attempted it on an expensive swamp ash bass guitar body. The sample was perfect for my needs.
