Man I hope you see this because it's an amazing find. I found an entire pine tree that was the same color as the root you had, took me 3 days to chop through it with an axe. A single log burned for 3 days. I was around 12 when I found this down here in Chipley, Fl.
@@Dominic.Minischetti I'm currently making pinetar, the only thing I did differently was poke a hole in the top of the lid to let it vent (seen it in a different video) I'll let you know how it goes. I'm most likely gonna be making a lot of things off your channel, thank you for the quality content.
@@Dominic.Minischetti it went very well I got about 5oz using a filled round cookie tin, I had just the tiniest amount not burned but it wasnt enough to start another one. My first time starting a fire also. fatwood shavings work better than magnesium🤣
Enes SOYLU Thanks! The finish on that one is a gloss polyurethane. I have since went to a hand rubbed matte finish. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
D & R Z That all depends what you are trying to get out of it. There should be fatwood down in the stump and crotches of the limbs. As far as any usable wood for carving, that would depend on if it dry rotted or not. I hope this helps!
I have found several people saying that sap and resin are two entirely different things; That resin/pitch is the hard stuff secreted by the tree's outer layer and sap is the liquid that comes from inside. I'm very confused, is sap and resin the same thing?
Autumn Galix I consider sap the liquid watery substance. It’s the sugars from a tree. Resin is the thick liquid the the tree heals itself with. But I could be wrong! Lol!
I planted it so iwas planning to cut some for my doors but they were demoralising me that it is not going to help and yet it's good tree here in Africa
@@Dominic.Minischetti I think I have collected white pine pitch but need u to confirm it for me. Message me on Facebook so I can text you a pic of the branch on the tree I collected it from. My name is Kelly fedewa
In sail days everything was waterproofed with pine tar or pitch, handling the rigging made your hands black. For that reason naval salutes are executed palm in, showing an officer the "black hand" was considered an infraction.
Hello, I have a question if anyone can help. I found cut branches of pine tree, and wanted to make some kind of indoor shelves for my cat. We started to take of the tree bark and it's still sticky. Should i give up or is there a way how to treat wood so it won't be sticky, what to use to coat, paint over? Thank you
Hi! You won’t be able to get rid of the resin. You really can’t paint over it either. It’s best to find another piece without resin. I’m sorry, it’s probably not what you wanted to hear.
Will some medicine from the pine take away inflamed shins? The hospital is too far from us. I am desperate for something that will take away the inflamtion from my shinbones. I do not have shinsplint. Can you please tell me what can I do???
Thank you for sharing 6 years later and your still awesome!

@@darthanubis4204 That’s cool, I haven’t seen it done that way! Good luck and you’re welcome my friend!

@@Dominic.Minischetti so the tar formed a different liquid ontop, any clue what it is and if I should remove it?
great stuff...
MadPaperPeople Thanks!
The clean amber sap dissolved in rubbing alcohol makes soldering flux, not just a make shift in a pinch solution either but legit solder flux.
That’s so awesome! Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
You can make pine needle teas, they are rich in vitamin c and has a great sweet taste.
Thanks my friend, I have to try that sometime! I appreciate you watching!
Do you have video as to how to make it.
DJ Apocalyptic Sorry I don’t!
Nice
Isaac Levy Thanks, I appreciate it!
If I may ask were did u get those nifty little jars? Love the video!
I bought them at Walmart! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!
I bet it smells so goood!
It sure does! Oh yeah! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!
@@Dominic.Minischetti I subbed!
Maxim Vaillant Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
With a dryed resin you can make incense, that smells great. I'm experimenting with it. But I wonder if there is a way to dry it quickly.
Karolis Karolux I never dried it, but when it’s purified, you can break it up into dust! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
The pitch makes fantastic fire starter. So many uses from 1 tree though
That Murder Inc. It sure does! Amazing stuff!
What did you use to finish the carved bird? It is awesome btw.
Enes SOYLU Thanks! The finish on that one is a gloss polyurethane. I have since went to a hand rubbed matte finish. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
soooooo awesome!!!
Lucie B Lindner Thanks my friend, I appreciate it!
@@Dominic.Minischetti and the New York accent! Yasssl!!
Lucie B Lindner lol
Good info! I've got a dead pine tree (lightning storm five yrs ago) close by - is that wood still usable? What indicators should I look for?
D & R Z That all depends what you are trying to get out of it. There should be fatwood down in the stump and crotches of the limbs. As far as any usable wood for carving, that would depend on if it dry rotted or not. I hope this helps!
The inner bark is cambium I've eaten it a few times. And make spruce tip tea. And make fero rod handles out of fat wood
Great video! if i may ask were did u get those nifty glass jars from?
John Smith Thanks John! I purchased them in Walmart!
@@Dominic.Minischetti nice ty
John Smith You’re welcome!
I want Fatwood but where can I get it
You can buy it on Amazon.

Gd is pine good for timbers because ihave it ineed to cut for my furnitures
Yes pine is a good wood for furniture!
I planted it so iwas planning to cut some for my doors but they were demoralising me that it is not going to help and yet it's good tree here in Africa
Richard Lubega As long as you maintain it, it should last forever!
You can make a pain relief salve out of spruce and white pine pitch
Kelly Fedewa Yes! Do you make it?
No I don't. I watched a u tube video on how to make it.
Kelly Fedewa Cool, I look it up!
@@Dominic.Minischetti I think I have collected white pine pitch but need u to confirm it for me. Message me on Facebook so I can text you a pic of the branch on the tree I collected it from. My name is Kelly fedewa
Kelly Fedewa Ok sent you a 👋
The root seems to me like it is more potent. Great video buddy
Jerrys WoodShop and Outdoors Thanks buddy! To be honest, the fatwood down here in Florida all seems to be potent! Lol

I didn’t know that! I love learning knew things! Thanks for sharing my friend, I appreciate it!
@@Dominic.Minischetti My pleasure, just a humble Pine Nut/Fatwood Freak.
@@sylvesterstewart868 I love me some fatwood! I started a collection from around the country, I made a fatwood board of fame! I have 18 states so far!
@@Dominic.Minischetti I just got into collecting fatwood, it's really addictive If you dont have a chunk from South Carolina I'll send you one.
@@sylvesterstewart868 Thanks brother, I do have South Carolina! I appreciate the offer! Do you have any from Florida?
You can get Turpentine from the sap/pitch.
Yes! That was big business back in the day! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!

I am so sorry, but I do not know. Please try to contact a medical professional. I hope you feel better soon.
Tumeric reduces inflammation, check with your doctor though.
