Lake Surfer, your work is really fantastic. I like the touches (the surfboard). I have a question. You mention your Marquesan is ash. How is that to carve? I just got a log that is ash and it is damn heavy. I know they use it to make bats, but is it tough? I just finshed two large tikis. One is of oak, not to bad to carve, but the other was made of maple and it was not much fun. Where does the ash rank?

Thanks.
