Various Technological properties of common Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) present at northern areas of Pakistan, especially Neelum valley, were determined to find out better utilization by standard laboratory methods. Permanent slides of cross, radial and tangential sections of the wood were prepared to determine anatomical properties of the wood through microscopic observations. The wood samples were prepared and tested as per international standard to determine physical and mechanical properties of wood. The thick walled and long fibers were observed which showed its better strength. The wood may be less durable or non-durable, however, chemical preservation can be made easily to enhance its durability. Seasoning may also be done easily if due care is provided. After that the determined results have been compared with shisham wood (Dalbergia sissoo). It can be used as alternate of shisham wood in manufacturing work after some processing is carried out carefully. Its also recommended for a number of uses due to its better strength figures.
