Looks like cherry to me as well. Put a little scrap of it out in the sun for a day or so. If it turns a dark reddish color, it is surely cherry. The grain's too tight and fine for ash.
Its lovely timber to work with, not coarse like ash.
I will take another picture indoors this evening, the light was very contrasty at my workshop window this morning. Musn't complain about summer arriving I suppose after the previous 3 months.
