- Preparing & using pine pitch.

A few of my blog entries have called for the use of resin and pitch.

From the great blog A Woodsrunner's Diary is a link to instructions on how to get pitch and use it....

Preparing & Using Pine Pitch from Buzzard Bushcraft via A Woodsrunner's Diary.

Buzzard Bushcraft and The Woodsrunner's Diary blog are all about the practical application of some of the things I write about here.  I'm writing about it and Le Loup and his friends are doing it.  I'm a librarian and they are craftsmen.

If you have a mind to pick up and run with any of the pioneer and settler DIY's I present in this blog, Le Loup's A Woodsrunner's Diary blog and Buzzard Bushcraft would be a great next step for you.

Other free DIY and how-to's from the colonial past can be found at www.PioneerHandbooks.com.

It's easy enough to do and a good way to keep this knowledge alive.
