Texture of the split wood looks right but I wouldn't commit to Ash strictly on the bark....White Ash anyway. Not sure enough....

Ash has opposite branching. Can't see it very good on my phone though.

Im not a good bark person. I feel iffy. If you really want to know wait a month when it leafs out. Too bad about the split in the crotch. Is that why you are asking?
If there is no hurry on its demise I would wait for leaves to decide to cut.
Treepointers link is very helpful too.

Just on branching I would say ash. Not positive.

I was told that ash leaves a lot of ash after burning. Is this true?

 

[Applesister]

My experience is that its around normal range.
The two woods that are very high ash producers are poplar and sugar maple. For my stove and habits.

Ash leaves almost no ash when burned. Great firewood.

The tree was dropped when I got to it. The pics are from the owner. He wants two straight sections for lumber. The rest is mine. It cuts and splits very nice.
