Never had a stock, but still have a little ash pole corral. When you build it with fresh cut poles, they're incredibly strong and have quite a bit of flex when a cow hits them. Acter they season, still strong but hard as a rock. You can saw and drill them, but an ax will just bounce. I bet a stock from well seasoned ash would be very stable. But not a lightweight. Just read back and see I posted a year ago. Oops!
