 In southeast Michigan, there are a number of programs trying to find
ways of making use of all of the dead ash.  One company is specializing
in making picture frames from them.  I have boards from a tree we had to
take down in my yard that have made their way into a couple of projects
including cabinets and some flooring.  I haven't looked into it
personally, but I would expect that you should be able to find someone
who can make them for you.
