Peeling Tan oak bark for tanning leather. Lots of that to do this season from sick trees. Peeled half a cord last year. Could peel a lot more this year. @thebushtannery @ladyursus @giantgroundsloths . . #hometanning #leather #leathercraft #leathertanning #tanning #traditionalcrafts #traditionalskills #leatherworking #californiaplants #paleotechnics

The common frame of reference for splitting wood, is splitting sawn wood with flat ends on a flat ended stump. Not only is the stump unnecessary, but wood can often be split more effectively on the ground. Today's YouTube video is all about splitting wood without flat ends with a sharp axe at ground level, and hopefully finishing with a still sharp axe #axes #axesafety #splittingwood #firewood #cordwoodchallenge #axecordwoodchallenge #axejunkies #woodcraft #bushcraft #wildernessliving #axeskills
