Pounding Ash Splints

Pounding a fresh ash billet to separate the growth ring layers. This is commonly done for basketry in the US but is relatively unknown in the UK and people started to claim our ash wouldn't work. Phil, Frank and I had to have a go..

Wow, had never realized that's how it was done. Not a weaver, now may give it a whirl!
