I'll check the title with Tessa and let you know what it's called,

Yesterday went and had a look at some Ash for bowmaking at the next meetup, there's a few promising pieces in a hedgerow that needs thinning so it's just getting them cut before the sap rises.

I've sent for a copy of the Axminster tools catalogue so I can get a hook knife (they also do a nice drawknife that'll be good for bowmaking and such like).
