Milkweed?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hillbilly:
It's actually easier with dry stalks.

ricktrojanowski:
Thanks for the info Hillbilly, the stuff  i got seems pretty beat, so I think I'll wait til the green stuff browns up a bit, I've been using some pods for tinder with pretty good results.

jamie:
for bow strings i prefer to gather it somewhat green and then rett the fibers free. much cleaner material and longer fibers.

mitchman:
im sorry but how do you make the cordage out of it

ricktrojanowski:
From the little bit I've messed with it and with dogbane, you do the same twisting motion as if you were making a flemish twist bowstring out of Dacron.
