John, you can join the ash at the handle with a simple scarf joint. I would add an overlay for security though. Ash would be OK for this too.

If you have hickory for the backing I would use that instead of the ash.

For the hickory backing cut it to 3/16" and sand it down to 1/8" or slightly less. You can use TB glue or Urac if you have it.
