green ash
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? Max |
