OAK<\/h2>\n \n

ASH<\/h2>\n \n

The Vital One \u2013 Fraxinus excelsior (latin)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to the high quality of its wood, the ash is one of the most precious deciduous woods, and together with beech and oak, one of the most important timbers in Central Europe. The expressive, distinctively structured wood, with its pronounced annual rings, is harder, tougher and more flexible than that of many other trees. For that reason, ash wood is most popular amongst those with the highest requirements when it comes to toughness and flexibility. Thanks to its special marking with a brown core, the ash is often known as the \u201ccore ash\u201d.<\/p>\n

Origin: Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Ukraine <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

WALNUT<\/h2>\n \n

The Precious One \u2013 Juglans nigra (latin)<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most valuable and sought-after timbers, walnut has been viewed for centuries now as one of the most precious wood species for the production not just of parquet flooring and furniture, but also of musical instruments. Thanks to its colouring, which ranges from matt to blackish-brown, and its marking, this attractive wood gives any room it graces a particularly luxurious ambience. Its varied appearance makes it the ideal choice for those wishing to create effective contrasts.<\/p>\n

Origin: Central and Eastern Europe, USA <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n
