Ebonised Ash
Fraxinus excelsior
Ebonised to a near-black graphite while the open ash grain stays legible beneath — reductive and confident.

Polished, or left honest.
The same leaf, two finishes. Drag to see how a low-sheen lacquer awakens depth against the raw, matte sliced surface.

Every ring and open pore at 1:1 fidelity.
02Character & specification
Ash carries a bold, open grain that survives even the deepest ebonising. The pigment sinks to charcoal-black, yet the linear structure reads through it — a graphic, architectural surface for confident modern interiors.
“A veneer should never hide the tree it came from — it should let you read its whole life in a single leaf.”
