Well-grown Ash is one of the most versatile woods of all our European trees. Only Oak is stronger, though in different way, and Yew more elastic. Ash wood can be used for more purposes than any other timber and it has the advantage of quick growth.
Traveling, skilled craftsmen, known as bodgers, worked in the woods and turned green unseasoned Ash into legs for tables and chairs, bowls and other household utensils. Their wood-turning lath was powered by the combined action of a springy Ash pole and a treadle.
