An aged oak in Cheshire was felled, and every last part of it was distributed to over 70 of Britain's leading designers and craftspeople who were asked to produce an object that demonstrated the beauty and diversity of wood. This book is a record of the collection of artefacts as wide ranging as furniture, toys, books, jewellery, carvings, sculptures, even ceramics fired with wood-ash glaze, that they produced. Foreword by HRH, The Prince of Wales.
