I have been having a few problems with my willow bark cordage and couldnt see much to help when I searched the forum. I was hoping someone could offer some advice. Here's what I've done.
1. Soak the bark over night which left the water a reddish brown colour
2. Cut thin strips from the bark
3. Preceeded to twist into cordage like nettle cordage
4. Found that when I tried to add another piece like you do with nettle cordage it wouldnt work and so was lift with the maximum lenght I could get from two strands
5. When finish tied a knot on the ends and then once it dried it came apart abit.
So can anyone help me make some quality cordage?
Thanks
