Chips for compost....i like to put pine and ash or maple shavings on top of my containers top layer. If you have that much available...i could see (depending on grain and structural integrity of heartwood) cribbage boards,hand carved cups,plates,utensils...ash should ne used for working and such if possible...last resort for me would be firewood.Yes it is excellent firewood. Unfortunately you can't give it away as there is so much of it. Fairly rot resistant but most sitting five years is getting full of fungus. That's what's bring them down as it weakness them.
They say all ash trees are susceptible. Though I don't think it will kill off the species as they are very stubborn trees. Depends on if a predator comes along for the green ash beetles. I know the wood pecker population increased hugely.
They eat the area between the bark and wood.
Really breaks my heart to see them being hammered like that
