Uh- yeah, I've heard it called mountain ash before. [He's mildly confused by the excitement. Sure, it's a nice wood, lightweight and strong, but. Wood enthusiast??]

From- burned rowan? Doesn't that, you know, affect the... the structural integrity? [It seems like something important, though, so- well, he's willing to try.] I can give it a try, but I- I have some questions here. How long do you burn the wood for? Are we talking- straight up ash, or just- just blackened, or?

[Also why. But that seems rude.]
