Huizc, I've worked with Ash and can't complain, it's kind of like oak in the respect that it's hard and grain is similar. oddly enough it has a dry soap bar feel to it and it's saw dust. If it were me though I would use Poplar instead due to tighter grain(eaiser to paint and weather) ash's more open grain pattern is more likely to show through with out added prep work. poplar is harder than pine in the fact that it resist denting and scratches as much but i real easy to work with, cut, sand etc. Hope this helps.
