Absolutely amazing work. Ash is a favorite of mine. Copied a very large desk that was used in the shipyard in town by the paymaster. That is up in VT at my cousins and will serve their family for years.
Its really unfortunate that the Emerald Ash borer is loose in the North East. Ash is dead on the stump all over New England. And due to the open pores of the wood it rots on the stump quickly. The long tradition of bats, paddles and other useful items made of Ash looks to be headed the same path as American Chestnut.
Your stocks are a great tribute to a fine tree. Thanks for posting.
