Matching lots - FRSA, Frsar

Mismatched ash pedestals: an aesthetic and versatile wood for layout and carpentry

Perfectly suited to woodworking, mismatched ash blocks offer an excellent compromise between aesthetics, flexibility and technical performance. Whether they are in version white (FRSA) or Olivier (Frsar), these pads are carefully selected to meet the needs of the fine carpentry, of The interior layout or even the manufacture of decorative elements.

What is a mismatched plot?

Contrary to Ball plot, the mismatched pad does not follow the exact order in which the log is sawn. It is an assembly of boards of the same species and sections, sorted according to homogeneous quality criteria. This allows great flexibility of use while ensuring:

• One aesthetic coherence
• One optimization of material yields
• One reduction of machining losses

It is the ideal format for professionals looking for a good quality/price ratio on wood that is dry, clean and ready to work.

Why choose ash for your carpentry or layout projects?

The ash (Fraxinus excelsior) is a European deciduous species that is very popular for:

• Its mechanical resistance (flexure, shocks)
• Its fine and straight grain
• Its natural decorative appearance, both simple and warm

It is particularly suitable for:

• Custom furniture
• Work plans
• Mouldings and wall coverings
• Decorative objects
• Contemporary layouts

Ash is easy to work with, accepts finishes very well and has a very good dimensional stability once dry.

Two finishes available: FRSA (white) and FRsar (olive)

At Scierie VUITTON, we offer two categories of mismatched ash blocks, selected according to color and grain:

• FRSA — White ash :
  • Homogeneous and clear color

  • Simple and modern look
• Frsar — Olive ash :
  • Features a darker, veined heart
  • Very aesthetic natural contrasts
  • Ideal for creating unique and expressive pieces

Flexible formats for all your needs

We offer a complete range of dimensions to adapt to your projects:

• Available thicknesses : 18/27/34/41/41/45/45/45/50/54/65 mm
• Lengths : of 2.20 m unto 4.50 m

All of our woods are dried and then dried, to reach a humidity level stabilized around 10—12%, ideal for machining, finishing and durability.

Careful selection, ready-to-use wood

Each plot is:

• Manually selected for its visual and structural quality
• Stored under cover, in airtight hangars to preserve its stability
• End-waxed, in order to limit the risk of cracks

This approach guarantees a wood clean, dry and stable, immediately ready for use in the workshop.
