Is this bat ash or maple? Part of the description talks about ash (at top of screen with price/size) and the full description says maple.

I saw the very same thing and I think it's a little smoke and mirrors from the seller! The bat itself bears no indication. The wood is light in colour, so I'd bet it's ash. Ash has been the favoured wood for baseball bats.

I made some research and it looks very much like the wood is Northern White Ash.

The only difference is the ash catcher. I'm not sure of the price difference.

I got the graphite one that is all laminate w/ no wood-grain. It is solid black laminate on the back. No idea about the wood one, sorry.

Tin. Like the picture. However, I am 100% certain that a wood box version is available for purchase. You will pay more than twice as much.

Not sure of the exact wood. It works well with Oak and Maple. These come from Malaysia.

The backs and legs are a painted hardwood; however, the seat portion of the chair has the grain exposed and it appears to be maple. I've been using them for nearly seven months now--very study and well made--also the assembly was not too difficult for this 61-year-old grandmother to put together herself!!

Oak typically is a more porous wood. For cutting boards a tighter grain wood such as ash, maple is better. Oak will work though.

Not sure what kind of wood but the grain is fine more like a Maple than Oak

Seems that Ashley and I disagree about the wood....I don't have the booklet anymore so I'm not sure what it said about the type of Chinese wood it is......maybe it's Chinese cedar. Sorry for obfuscation.

The top appears to be a veneer. It seems as hard as any hardwood and I treat it that way. I use a coaster under a drink and am careful not to abuse it. It's not formica but isn't soft either. Don't worry about the hardness. Just treat it reasonably and enjoy it.

Wait. I'm not sure what finish ours is. I would not call it autumn maple so maybe ours is a different finish.

I purchased this box. It's beautiful and I love it, but I'm not positive what type of wood it is. I went to the Stash main website and found one that is similar. The only difference is the oval gold Stash logo inside the lid is rectangular instead. That description says it is Mahogany.

South American hardwoods...check their website...it's quite informative. Great product, by the way, very big chunks...sometimes I have to split 'em up to fit in my chimney starter. I've ordered several bags.

I do not have any ash trees so am not sure about the answer to your question.

i don't know what kind of wood it is but, it chips quickly. I love my Island but the top is horrible. Think about getting another type of top that is available, I have no children, I live alone but again this top chips quickly.

When I think oak I think more in the brown/tan family. The one I received I would classify as a light cherry. More red in the finish than brown.

According to the description on the Cymax website that also sells this, it says, "Covered in top grain/split leather to provide high-end look."Why it does not say this for the Amazon listing, I don't know. I hope it is the same product.Now, the 'wood' trim is not real wood, apparently but some sort of molded resin over a hardwood frame.
