Small Ash Tankard, no hoops

Ash varies in colour from a very pale 'straw' colour to a much darker shade, almost like the colour of light Oak. In fact, it's quite easy to mistake dark Ash for light Oak. The tankard in the photo is one of the lighter ones. Please note that the grain pattern in Ash is very variable, sometimes showing as wide, wavy lines and at other times the grain runs in more-or-less straight lines. The third photograph shows both large and small Ash tankards for comparison.
