Yep I pretty much took that route. I used lots of poplar which is fine, but found that it really don't like taking the brunt when it hits something hard under the ground and have plenty broken arras to show for it. Where as the ash is that bit tougher and also has a bit more weight to it which can be useful at times.
Half the fun though is the making and experimenting with different arras, seeing how far they will or wont go and why.
