WOOD ASH? Who the heck mails wood ash to someone? No, don't answer that. I'm certain I really don't want to know.

symbolism?

Wood ash by mail.

Yes, it has many uses, even an envelope full.

Making lye for soapmaking (takes a lot of ash).

I have a couple of pottery pots by a local Lady, she makes her glazes with wood ash in them.

Different woods give different colors. Usually a natural light shade of the blues, grays, and greens.
