Something for you primitive guys to ponder on
Justin Snyder:
What about maple, I hear they make a sticky sap. It sure works for sticking the fork to my hand. ;D

Shannan:
You got any Eastern Red Cedar in them parts?
The pitch out of them will make good glue. Very similar to pine pitch.
It is harder to collect in any quantity. But if you got nothing else....

Oh yea, we got maple and LOTS of ERC. The sap from it is very sticky but there's never much of it. I just figured since they didn't "leak" as much as pine that it wouldn't be enough.
JustinNC:
For those of us fortunate.....if that's how you want to look at the stupid things....enough to hae pine trees...can ya take a machete or something and give them a good whack and come back a few days later and collect?....assuming spring or fall would be the better times for this. I know Ive seen sap before I ever wanted any, on injured pines, didn't know if that was a good way to injure them or not.
jonathan creason:
Yep, or just watch going through town for trees that have been pruned. The ones that are mowed around a good too, innevitably somebody's going to hit one with the mowing deck.
