I really do not know the answer on your question. I have not made any men's bows from ash but seems to me that junniper is better.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thanks Maitus!

Common Ash is good bow wood in my opinion. The best characteristic of it is the fakt that there is a lot of it around here where i live  ;) Juniper is very rare though.

Well it is a great bow, have fun with it!
