Many people have asked me over the years how I harvest the inner bark of tulip poplar trees for my hand woven baskets. So, instead of writing an article, I thought I'd try a video. Let me know what you think!
For more information on Natural Basketry, visit http://www.matttommey.com/basket-weaving-classes.html and download my free PDF called "7 Tips for Making Baskets with Natural Materials".
Inside I'll tell you what materials are good for making baskets, when to harvest, how to store and protect them, and even common tools used in the harvesting process.
