basswood is about the best carving wood around hands down, but it's very porous[pore's being very ,very small],,s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g up any sealer you may use and may take longer to dry because of that...in time it will lighten up abit as the sealer dry's.
ash is a very hard wood, again very porous,,pore's being large, like oak and most kinds of mahogany..both can be used for the making of plug's, but there's abit more work to filling in those same open pore's that are much larger....sometime's needing 3-5 coat's of primer, sanding between each coat.to get rid of all the pot mark's[pore's].
