Pine pitch question

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pat B:
I've used different types and it all seems to work the same. There is  slight difference in smell with incent grade pinion pine smelling the best. I got some in trade a few years ago.

swamp monkey:
I collected sap from white pine, jack pine, short leaf pine and some kind of fir.  Each was different in consistency but the resulting pitch seemed just fine.

Billinthedesert:
I've pretty much stuck with ponderosa, as we have so much of it here in the Oregon high desert. Are you folks melting, screening and mixing with powdered charcoal? If not, how are you processing your pitch?

swamp monkey:
Bill,  I cooked it until it melted then added ground charcoal and ground elk dung.

Billinthedesert:
Ground elk poop. I knew I was forgetting a key ingredient. Actually, I can collect mule deer pellets right in my yard ...
