I need help finding the strength values for white ash.
I do not see ash listed in the Timber Frame Joinery and Design Tables.
If someone could point me to a table that includes white ash i would be gratefull.
Also, if any of you have used white ash as principal house timbers I would appreciate some feedback on checking.
We have some white ash as purlins in our barn and they certainly have checked.......
thanks a mil

Chapter 4 of the Wood Handbook (there is a link to it on the main Guild page) has all sorts of UNADJUSTED strength properties for ash and other species.

On the main page, on the left side, as you scroll down under "Timber Framing News" there is a link as well.
