Harvesting Pine Pitch

(1/4) > >>

Friar:
Does anybody have a good reference explaining an efficient way to gather pine pitch?  Or could someone talk me through it?  I'm hoping to make my first batch of glue.

Thanks!  Really am loving the community y'all have built, appreciate y'all making it open and passing things on.

Friar:
Thanks Tracy - good information.

But what about effective methods of gathering pine resin off the trees in preparation for making the glue?

Appreciate the help

BowEd:
Friar......It's a timely question that you ask there.Spring is coming soon here.I've had luck just cutting off a limb of a pine tree close to the trunk and within a little time the sap will start to run out.Others on here might have different methods that work but that works for me.

Friar:
Thanks Beadman!
