i had a shard of ash that had ripped off a branch in the gales,its been sat in the back of my van a while now and to honest i was going to bin it but i was chopping logs and kindling at work today and thought it would be rude not to carve something so i faced it up and an egg flipper was staring back at me,it had dried out a bit as it was quite thin but was still easy to work...thanks for looking..kev
