Hey all,
A few weeks ago someone posted a great example of making birch tar and that with the comments following it, and the ray mears episode in Belarus, I fancy giving it a go.
I have a big ol' ziploc bag of bark, but am not sure if its the right type for this.
It's the thick stuff from around the end of a dead fallen silver birch tree.
Can this stuff be used or does it have to be the papery(?) bit of the bark?
Any other things I should know?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Baelfore
