Hafting a Knive Blade to antler????
Otoe Bow:
Since they use pine tar on baseball bats (wooden) I just assumed you could get it from a sporting goods store. I'd never tried them before but thought I'd give it try. ::)
Hey Yankee I saw a guy make pine pitch glue and he used one part pitch, one part charcoal and one part dried manure (he stressed it had to be from a herbivore). Not sure what the manure is for. :-\

The Manure has undigested Hay and Grass in it...this adds Strength to the Pine Tar....like adding Reinforcement Rod to Concrete...or like backing a Bow with Bamboo...but I think if I was going to add anything to it besides the Tar .... Lard or Beeswax.... and Charcoal....... it would have to be like Plaster of Paris not Manure!!!
DanaM:

pine tar is a wood preservative and is made from a distillation process
pine pitch to me is sap collected from a tree, heated and mixed with charcoal and other binders
