It`s good to experiment, I'd have imagined with it`s close grain Ash might be worth a try & we know a bloke who`s just aquired a load

Keep up the good work

I have done the same with Elm Ian, but if you polish it to early it takes off the dye, i got round this by using a few coats of CA instead of friction polish ... Also like Brian says, leave it a few days to soak into the wood and dry ...
