Poplar bark/dogbane belt
Hillbilly:
The size of the "buttload" is directly proportional to the size of the butt that the belt goes around ;D Actually, I'll probably use this one as a quiver strap.
Jamie, I actually knew a few of the people interviewed in the Foxfire series. My dad's family comes from Rabun county, Georgia where the series was produced, and several of the interviewees lived near here. All the stuff in there was day-to-day life for my grandpa's generation. When I was a kid, most of my grandparents and great uncles/aunts were living just like the books show. That's how I learned a lot of the "primitive" stuff, following my grandpa and uncles around like a three-foot-tall shadow when I was a munchkin.

Hillbilly when you come over this way I "need" you to stop by and help identify some of the trees to see if I have any of that inner bark. I wouldn't know a tulip poplar from a concrete post. ??? Help!!!! I need to make a strap similar to that for my split cane quiver. That is awesome. Thanks for showing it.

How do you process the tulip opolar inner bark? Do you ret it or use lye or use it unprocessed?
