Very cool to see a tree from your own history get used for a nice project. Ash is becoming a wood I look to use more as we are in the hot zone of the Emerald Ash borer. I fear it may be our next American Chestnut in our area. There is a very good stand if it in the North East and it has been a staple for projects like canoe parts and tool handles. Unfortunately it is not rot resistant and once the tree dies on the stump there is a very short window to use it before the lumber is effected.
Again very nice stock work. Thank you for posting the photos.
