    Only help I can give is to suggest you Google 'Fraxinus uhdei', and wade through that.
    Tree is native to Central America, popular park and street tree in Mexico and California. Of course it's not info about shade you are after but there may be something about the timber there.

    That's fine Paul. I'm learning more myself.
    There is a little about the timber in this paper, last para. on page 2.
    BTW, I like the chunky rustic look of the piece in the photos.

    Thanks again. I have a lot to learn myself. I went ahead with the purchase because I love the chunky look as well and this seems a beautifiul piece of furniture. The article was interesting but nobody seems to know much about this wood. Hope it lasts as long as most of the other hardwoods. Thanks!

    Looks like a good on to use for timber:

    No shortage, it seems.
