Mister Moose thanks for the offer, we have ash available here from some of our suppliers, I'm sure it would be costly for shipping I live in Birchwood Tennessee about 30 miles north of Chattanooga. But I do appreciate the offer.

Thanks again

I have never understood why some authors use words that are not of Ford's nomenclature as it can be very confusing when trying to locate something when folks of different areas use different words to describe the same item.

I would expect those items to be available from the wood manufacturers however their backlog may be substantial in the present day economy. Best to check with them directly.
