RE: Honeysuckle, Strangled Wood, and Spirally Walking Sticks
Great post @ocrdu. If you found all three of those on the same day then surely there must be a suitable tree lying around somewhere.
Presumably you have to wait for them to die do you?
Does the strangulation kill them?
No, not usually, but it does happen.
Ideally, you get the wood when it is alive and then let it dry; it is often too far gone when it has been lying on the forest floor (and there wasn't anyway).
This is why I like storms and pruning going on in big parks; I can get the wood without feeling guilty.
If I ever find a suitable young tree for a goastok, however, it is going down 8-).
Well I hope you find one soon @ocrdu although it might be a bit tricky to sand where the honeysuckle meets the tree. 😊
Fortunately, I'm a tricky and patient sander.
