Flood July 11, 2024, river on the rise
The Passumpsic River, between Lyndonville VT and St Johnsbury VT. This is the highest water I have ever seen from my yard. I was told by the neighbor that it is near CREST POINT. I told him: "It is not over with yet"
With more rain on the way .... we shall see.
I happened upon a family of Voles, digging their way UP and OUT of the flood waters. I showed up and they decided to tunnel back into flooded ground. I left, so they would not be bothered by me any more. I hope they decide to smarten up and move elsewhere, soon. Poor little guys.

Black Ash Basketmaking: Beavers
Переглядів 93214 років тому
Beavers moved in and flooded a huge Black Ash Grove. This killed off over 500 good Basket trees. Once the beavers had eaten all the Poplar trees they moved on. This type of thing is a very real threat to the Native Basketmakers. This once beautiful and productive Black Ash Grove was reduced to nothing more than a graveyard of dead trees standing in stagnant water. It resembles some Sci-Fi scene...

      Think you're right Jess. Wonder how it would be canoeing down through with the ice. Looks like some more snow this Thursday. I'm really looking forward to some nice sunny warm days!

    few questions does this have be freshly cut green log or can pond old dried out long get these basket make material. two have extreme strong to hite force make come apart as seen vedas people cracking walnuts with bare hands either old nut easy crack or super strong crack new nut that full water?

    • @basketman65a
      @basketman65a 7 років тому

      (1) Green, fresh cut = is OK . Soaked in a Pond = is OK, Dried = is OK ( Dealers Choice.) (2) How hard to strike every inch, overlapping each strike: NO NEED to beat it to death ... start out gently hitting it , move down the log. don't sit there and keep hitting the same spot hoping the splint will just magically come off.

    European Ash, pine, oak not going work as well as black ash or brown ash or green ash. You can use Oak, however the process is separating the actual growth rings with a Knife ather than pounding, You can check out White Oak Baskets from the south if you like.

  • @basketman65a
    @basketman65a 12 років тому

    European Ash, White is not going work as well as black ash or brown ash or green ash. It will be brittle and shatter when you try to separate the growth rings. Sorry about that mate.

  • @JVBushcraft
    @JVBushcraft 12 років тому

    can we use european ash or other kinds of woods such as pine, oak, beech, birch?

  • @basketman65a
    @basketman65a 12 років тому

    Seasoned Black ash is fine to use .. however you should soak the dried out log .. before pounding it. Makes it easier to pound, less cracking of the splints as you pound and pull off .. roll up. Dried splints will crack = bad.

  • @nitrousair
    @nitrousair 12 років тому

    Does it only work with fresh wood or can i make splints with seasoned ash?

    Hi, I'm enjoying your videos on Blash Ash for basketry, but as I live in the UK, it's very hard to find Fraxinus Nigra here, but we DO have tons and tons of Fraxinus Excelsior (European Ash, White) - before I go and source a log and start pounding, I'm intereseted to hear your opinion on whether or not this would be a suitable tree to make strips for basketry?
