Anyway the first step was to rive it into moveable bits which I could get in my van and bring back to the workshop. It didn't crack open as easily as the european beech in the video but I managed it eventually.

Ash log
I got hold of a lump of ash recently. The tree was threatening a
stone barn so its 150 year life was brought to an end. I'm not sure
what I'll end up making with it yet, maybe a riven chest like the ones
being still being made in the old tradition by Tamas Gyenes [and seen in
the old 1955 video here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/3V0gQ9M45G8 ].
