Ash

Ash is no longer the popular car construction material which it was, but if anyone is looking for a supply of the wood for refurbishing or restoration we can pass on information of a source in Holland. A Biological Studies Group at the University of Leiden has been pruning 26-year-old ash trees in a marshy area and logs two metres long are being offered for sale at reasonable prices. The person to contact is Dorothy Selby-Boothroyd, Pafklaan 24, Wassenaar 2241.XN, Holland (home tel: 01751-12517). GP.
