Plywood that matches Ash?

[antkn33]

I am preparing to build a book shelf project. Originally the plans call for Oak, but I want to use Ash. I am havinf trouble locating Ash plywood locally. I know I can order it on the Internet, but would rather get something locally.

What would match the Ash lumber in terms of grain pattern, etc? It will be finished a darker color.

Thanks

The grain of Ash and Oak sure look similar. Maybe you could get some Oak veneered ply since you are finishing it darker anyway.

+1 on the Oak recommendation they are very similar
