Ash Tree Collection

If you love the look of natural timber but demand the convenience of modern living, Densified Ash is the ultimate solution. This is not just wood; it is wood that has been to the gym. Ash is already known as one of the toughest timbers in nature, but through a unique "densification" process, it is transformed into a material that offers the beauty of grain with the resilience of a tank.

Visually, this handle retains the beautiful, straight-flowing grain that makes Ash so popular, but with a deeper, richer tone. The process involves impregnating the wood with resin and compressing it under extreme heat and pressure. This fills every microscopic pore, resulting in a handle that is incredibly dense, smooth and heavy.

The Golden Feature: Dishwasher Safe This is the standout feature that separates Densified Ash from every other wood on this list. Because the resin impregnation makes the material completely non-porous and water-repellent, this is the only wood-based handle that is genuinely dishwasher safe. You get the warmth and elegance of a wooden handle without the fuss of hand-washing.

Where can it be found? The base material is the Common Ash, a native tree found throughout Europe. It is a staple of the forest, known for its resilience and ability to grow in difficult conditions.

Where else is it used? Standard Ash is famous for being the wood of choice for baseball bats due to its shock resistance. However, densified ash is often used in heavy industry for electrical insulation components and high-wear flooring. It is a material built to take a beating.

Did you know? Ash has a mythological pedigree that dwarfs almost every other tree. In Norse mythology, the "World Tree" (Yggdrasil) was an immense Ash tree that connected the nine worlds of the cosmos. So, while your handle is engineered for the dishwasher, the wood itself is the stuff of ancient legends that literally held the universe together.
