Ash is generally much cheaper than oak or cherry, so I don’t know why you would want to substitute. One other thing – the solids come in two colors, frequently mixed in one board. There is the creamy yellow and a deeper brown. If you do a natural finish, the brown will fade out after 4-5 years and you get the nice patina seen in your photos. When you buy ash ply, there is almost never any brown, so mixing solids and plys can be a problem unless you stain. Ash stains well, but then it just looks like oak. In my opinion, there is nothing like a nice patinized ash (10 years old or more) and 125 year old natural ash is a beautiful thing.” [thankz.co.uk]
