Learn how to create an Ash Pack Basket from master basket maker Mark Young as he shares with Maine Primitive Skills School community members. www.primitiveskills.com/course...
They used to a long while back, then it was deemed unnecessary in favor of the "New School" after WW2. All or most of the "Hand Skills" have been phased out.
Because feminism in the school district.. do i need to explain more because im more than happy to red pill the ignornant. Good turoriol regardless, thumbs up and a subscribe from me.
Iron Mantis do dumbasses like you blame feminism for everything? In fact, basket weaving was considered a “women’s skill” in many cultures, yet here you are watching this.
Brown/Black Ash is preferred. If you use green or white ash you have to pound out the splints as soon as the tree hits the ground or the growth rings will become to tight to separate.
Harvesting the right tree, and working the growth rings loose is how we weed out the chaff from the serious students. Would you want a bunch of chair borne rangers in your multi-generationally cultivated forest hacking random trees down to learn the skills?
