I prepped this ash glaze atcthe same time as #1. The only difference was this ash contained small branches, green leaves, lots of fresh weeds, brambles etc. The ash looked slightly more sandy looking. Both are now hanging from a tree in a pillowcase to dry out.

Ash Glaze #1
My first ever ash glaze attempted after read Ash Glazes by Phil Rogers.
Ashglaze #1 - mixed wood/wood burner
We have a mix of general cuttings from our garden containing cherry, magnolia, apple, blackthorn, lorral,
I removed the ash and put it through a 60 sieve wearing a mask. This was then left in a bucket filled to the top with water, stired well and left overnight. I then poured off the water and repeated filling with water. Left tgis for 3 hours and poured off. I then gave it another soak for 1 hour. The water was pretty clear so poured this off through a pillowcase which is now hanging from a tree to dry out.
The colour was quite grey compared to a slightly more sandy #2 as it was 100% wood.
