Wood Species:
Ash
Project Description:
Using the 12×16 Timber Frame Porch plans from Timberframe HQ, I purchased locally harvested Ash to build covers for fuel tanks. I did all the layout, cutting, raising and roofing of the frame myself over the course of 16 months. Youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy7nz8MmNMd3jEBL0C6a9Ew/videos?view_as=subscriber

Really please to have found an ash framed building. I am from UK and have available to me a lot of Ash on our farm which is suffering from dieback. I know that in the later stages it can weaken the timber but otherwise hope it is usable in the same way as oak. Question I have is whether you know if I can use it for framing just after felling as in green oak construction.
Thanks for any leads or advice, Tim
