Timber was in huge demand at this time for houses and ship-building, but a royal act of 1544 stated that if a person owned a wood which was younger than 24 years old they were to leave 12 of each of four different species of tree standing. These trees were the oak, elm, beech and the ash. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade from ash grown in Warwickshire and sourced from responsible forestry practices.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lovely little block of sustainable ash, all wrapped up in a natural cotton ribbon featuring the titles of Shakespeare plays, will look like the perfect present hanging on your tree this festive season. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDue to its organic nature, the natural shades and tones of wood may change according to external circumstances. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: Approx. 35 x 35 x 35mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned and created in Stratford upon Avon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Natural Shakespeare Gift Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55888982344028,"sku":null,"price":7.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/3397\/9996\/files\/IMG_8429_a101f030-7716-4cd0-9c8e-2c7f71c1d0fa.jpg?v=1762277518","url":"https:\/\/www.naturalshakespearegift.com\/products\/wooden-christmas-hanging-present-ash","provider":"The Natural Shakespeare Gift Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
