Aspen Hardwood Furniture

Aspen is a hardwood that grows mostly across the Great Lakes states and Canada. The wood is whitish in color and often has streaks of light brown. A relatively soft wood, aspen is easy to work with and takes nails and screws without splitting. As a result, cabinetmakers create a number of items from Aspen, including furniture, boxes, crates, paneling, matchsticks and toothpicks. Because of its malleable nature and eye-catching characteristics, aspen is used for making rustic furniture, such as the Aspen Hardwood Furniture items below.
