Humpday Triviola

Some days I have a hard time thinking of a question so I hope this one suffices.....
Cherry was often the preferred wood. This activity was exclusive to priests until 1590 when it first appeared as a secular endeavor.
Ownership of the cherry items gave the owner exclusive rights to what they produced.
I'll leave it there for now and see if more hints will be needed.

Cherry was often the preferred wood. This activity was exclusive to priests until 1590 when it first appeared as a secular endeavor.
Hmmm. Not sure how popular it was in the secular world.
Ownership of the cherry items gave the owner exclusive rights to what they produced.
You mean the headaches?
The answer

Hint

Another way of addressing the ownership of the cherry items. Ownership of them was a defacto copyright.
