A practical study of the ways in which woodlands were used in Anglo-Saxon England, this book discusses woodland management and the crafts of wickerwork and basketry for constructing buildings and containers. There is a section on the crafts associated with large trees, such as pole lathe turning, coopering and carpentry; analysis of surviving examples of late Anglo-Saxon woodwork; and consideration of the use of tree parts - bark, twigs and fruit - in charms and medical recipes, wood ash in glass making and for use in leather tanning, the production of soap, charcoal and metal smelting.
