Careful, there's more than one "potash":

More specific to your question he

I'm lucky here to have lots of live oaks on my 5 acres. Trick is to get the
fire hot enough for all to burn so you don't have to mess with any
half-burned stuff removal.

My dad made lye soap a few times when I was young. I remember its not so
good aroma, and how it lightly burned the skin while bathing. In the eyes
or on an open wound was very painful.
