Whisk

[Kepis]

Made myself a simple whisk earlier, twigs and bark cordage wrap are both Aspen. I was going to seal the bark ends over with pitch/glue but had run out of both Pine & Birch, so used a smear of regular wood glue instead.

I've made something similar from birch twigs. I used ordainary cotton string though and it was returned to nature after use.

That looks very practical

Do you mind when we were all playing around with the brushes made from peeling back hazel ? I wonder if we could manage to make those long enough to make a whisk ?

Has to be worth a try

Looks great!
Roughly how long would a whisk like that take to make?

Suppose it took about an hour, the most time consuming bit is debarking the twigs
