It was in a dimly lit diner where Lincoln ambitiously waited to meet his one true love. Although it seemed impossible, there was something hauntingly familiar about his surroundings. Could it really be her? Lincoln thought as he watched scenes from his dream unfold before his eyes. Meanwhile, Vanessa thought her journey to find Lincoln was over. She believed that the man she loved since the precious age of fourteen had long since forgotten her. Unaware that fate had led her there with the intent to heal her heart, Vanessa graciously refused a familiar strangers offer to buy her a meal, but had she known that person was Lincoln, she would have never declined. The Ash Tree Event was the result of Lincoln and Vanessas ten-year separation. It revealed their passion for each other and brought them together yet again to confirm a hidden love once believed to be nothing more than a childhood crush.

Robert Penn cut down an ash tree to see how many things could be made from it. After all, ash is the tree we have made the greatest and most varied use of over the course of human history. Journeying from Wales across Europe and Ireland to the USA, Robert finds that the ancient skills and knowledge of the properties of ash, developed over millennia making wheels and arrows, furniture and baseball bats, are far from dead. The book chronicles how the urge to understand and appreciate trees still runs through us all like grain through wood.
