Wizard said:  "All I know about ash, white ash in particular, is that it is 
great
for carving striking handles, such as for hammers, axes, etc. as taught
by my ex-father-in-law."

My Uncle told me that he used ash wood to fire his still because it gave off 
very little revenue-agent-attracting smoke.  My Aunt used the ash ashes to 
"fertilize" her Quinces and Pomegranates.
