Looks very good
Are you going to sand it? If so, sand it in stages and wet the thing between stages.

Ash is very hard, I got a bruised palm whittling those but the wood is lovely, very pale and not too heavy. Its also slightly flexible. Ash die back is causing lots of problems here so I keep finding felled trees with untouched branches. Soon Ash will be a rare wood.
