Poplar bark/dogbane belt

<< < (6/6)

jamie:
pat if you have conifers near ya use the roots. work great and less work. they are right under the surface . pull out what ya need and run across a branch to debark em. then split if ya want or need to.

DBernier:
Pat, no on the natural fiber for the canoe. I got a line on some substitute stuff from Vinson. That strap that Steve made is unreal. I am a little more sure about the inner bark. I got a fellow here who said I have some poplar trees and at least one cut down. I have to put the strap on my list soon. I need it for the cane quiver you saw.

Hillbilly:
Dick, I'll pretty much guarantee that you have a bunch of tulip poplar. It's one of the commonest trees in your neck of the woods. How soon do you need a strap? If I can get some time I'll weave you one.

DBernier:
Jezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Steve are you serious.   :o  No, there is no hurry. I just wanted to put something "natural" on the quiver for a strap and couldn't figure out what I wanted. Then you show up with this georgeous strap. God!! I had the quiver over at Pat's that weekend. I will take a measurement for the strap and let you know. I still want you to show me the trees. Maybe I can do something nice for someone else. I am in process of making a cane bread basket. I have to re-cane four canoe seats, one down three to go,  so that is why I am working with the cane right now. Thanks. Got some "Basalt" for you and Berry if you want to share.   ;D
