I like Ash too. I just finished another cradle for my daughter that is expecting in March. For several years now, I have been using pallets and shipping crates, etc. for wood for the toys and smaller projects that I make. I have found oak, walnut, hickory and a lot of pine. After it is sent through my thickness planer they all look really good (even the weathered pieces). Recently, my son-in-law (the landscaper) bought a jig for his chain saw and now has his own little lumber mill operation going. I now have some oak and cherry drying for furture projects.
