peer agreement (net): +4Lime Bark (Cordage) Fibers Explanation: http://209.85.135.132/search?q=cache:PWxAMwhpOucJ:www.bushcr... When the bark is totally removed from the wood put it in a slow moving stream for 2 weeks or more. Make sure it is totally submerged. I used sticks to hold it beneath the water. While you are waiting make a canoe. limebarkcordage6.jpg After 2 weeks of the bark being in the stream the layers of bark may have seperated enough. The bark will stink too! It will probably be covered in slime and various creatures may have made their home in your bark. Simply rub off the slime with your hands, some of you probably won't find this a pleasent job but just get on with it! limebarkcordage7.jpg Seperate the layers of bark out and hang up to dry. You can scrap the outer bark, it wont be good for much. The inner fibers are the strongest! Stronger than nettle fibers I think! This is one layer of bark and is so thin you can practically see through it. It reminds me of greasy chip shop paper limebarkcordage8.jpg When the fibers dry they become nice and soft ad are ideal for cordage making. Because the fibers are long you dont need to introduce new fibers as often when making cordage so the final cord will be stronger! |
