BEYOND RELIABLE.
Standard Profiles
Custom Profiles
Tilo can take your sketch, CAD drawing, photo, rendering or existing sample and develop a custom moulding.
Radius Moulding
Any one of our standard profiles can be made into a radius profile.
Ash Products
Ash (Fraxinus spp.)
Tilo makes a number of products using ash hardwood, including
- architectural millwork and moulding
- doors
- flooring
- furniture
- kitchen cabinets
- paneling
- turnings

General Description of Ash
Sapwood of ash is light-colored to nearly white while heartwood varies from grayish or light brown to pale yellow streaked with brown. Wood is generally straight-grained with a coarse uniform texture.Relative Abundance & Availability of Ash
4.6 percent of total U.S. hardwoods commercially available. Ash lumber is readily available.Working Properties of Ash
- machines well
- good in nailing, screwing and gluing
- can be stained to a very good finish
- dries fairly easily with minimal degrade
- little movement in performance

Physical Properties of Ash
Ash has very good overall strength properties relative to its weight. Excellent shock resistance and good for steam bending.
| Strength And Mechanical Properties (inch-pound) (a) |
|
| Moisture content | 12% |
| Specific Gravity (b) |
0.45-0.60 |
| Static Bending Modulus of Rupture (lbf/in2) |
6,000-15,000 |
| Static Bending Modulus of Elasticity (c) (106 lbf/in2) | 1.04-1.74 |
| Static Bending Work to Maximum Load (in-lbf/in3) | 11.8-16.6 |
| Impact Bending to Grain (in) | 43 |
| Compression Parallel to Grain (lbf/in2) | 2,300-7,410 |
| Compression Perpendicular to Grain (lbf/in2) | 350-1,420 |
| Shear Parallel to Grain (lbf/in2) | 860-2,030 |
| Tension Perpendicular to Grain (lbf/in2) | 940 |
| Side Hardness (lbf) | 1,320 |
a) Results of tests on small clear specimens in the green and air-dried conditions. Definition of properties; impact bending is height of drop that causes complete failure, using 0.71-kg (50 lb.) hammer; compression parallel to grain is also called maximum crushing strength; compression perpendicular to grain is fiber stress at proportional limit; shear is maximum shearing strength; tension is maximum tensile strength; and side hardness is hardness measured when load is perpendicular to grain.
b) Specific gravity is based on weight when oven dry and volume when green or at 12% moisture content
c) Modulus of elasticity measured from a simply supported, center-loaded beam, on a span depth ratio of 14/1. To correct for shear reflection, the modulus can be increased by 10%.
