John,
Ash is the predominant street tree in my town and the trees are a type that has reached the tree version of social security. I have an acquaintance that is also looking for some for a baseball bat wood, so I've got my eyes peeled. It will require a tree getting cut down, but with the age of the trees, at least a few are brought down each year. Would it be cost effective for me to send you some? If so, would you prefer a log or quarters? What length? Ash doesn't seem to split and quarters would probably be dry here in a year. Let me know. Made anything interesting out of the pecan, yet?
