Hi Simon
There is quite a bit of difference between working with pine and seasoned ash. I made the frame for my first special from two sheets of ash purchased locally. I am not a woodworker but really enjoyed the experience. Make sure your chisels are sharp
and you’ll be fine. In contrast I tried working with some American white oak for a domestic non car project and it just wasn’t the same!
Cheers
