Has anyone turned green ash (the species, not wet wood) for anything beyond
spindles and baseball bats? I have several crotch pieces, about 20" in
diameter and 16" long. I was wondering if it could be used as bowl stock?
I know this wood splits quite easily, as I handsplit the entire trunk and
larger branches into two cords of firewood. I tried to split one of these
crotch sections and gave up. Is this normally easily-split characteristic
such that green ash is disqualified for bowl turning?
