Ash is one of my favourite furniture timbers. It's extremely resilient, works well and takes an excellent polish. I have used Ash for several pieces of furniture; a cricket table, a corner cabinet and a Windsor chair.

I've thought about it for our kitchen if we ever get around to going ahead with it. My wife wants oak, but from what I've seen staining it a shade or to darker will give the same effect at maybe $1+/bdft less.
