Ash as a gunstock

[Roooss]

Hi All,

I am just wandering if ash is a wood that lends itself to being turned in to a rifle stock?

the main things I am thinking about are its structural integrity and weight. will it feel right? weigh is surely something i can overcome with lead balancing though right?

EDIT: I just had an extra thought, what would be the best material to use for the adjustable cheek posts and what would be a good mechanism for locking that in place?
