That's a list, not a string. You can explicitly coerce it to a string,
{"one", "two", "ten"} as string --> "onetwoten"

Applescript will insert its text item delimiters in between each
element of the list when coercing it to a string. By default, those
delimiters are {""}, that is, nothing. You can set them to spaces, if
that's what you want:
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" "}
{"one", "two", "ten"} as string --> "one two ten"
Be aware that the text item delimiters are global in scope.
