Wow! I know the inner pith of sumac is dark yellow, but I didn’t know the red berries would also have a tan color. I’d have bet it would come out pinkish red! I make Native American crafts and I’m really looking to improve my authenticity. I specialize in Inuit material culture and tools, but I’m wanting to really get better with Eastern Woodlands items and ways since I live in Tennessee. Plains too!
