Assumed it all went for firewood. We have predominantly ash round here and I’ve never seen it cut for anything else.

Ash sawlogs have been the mainstay of my business for years now.  Much cheaper to buy than Oak, and so much easier to dry.  Unless you need outdoor durability Ash is a perfect choice.  

 

UK timber merchants import into the UK thousands of tons of American Ash every year - and you could argue home grown is far superior.

 

Nearly every pub or restaurant you visit which has lots of lovely Oak on display - it is more often Ash.  Same in shops.
