Makin' Vigas
What have we learned?
-
Tree bark is most easily peeled
when the tree is still green (there's a sort of suction of the bark, but
once you have a good start with the knife it comes away smooth and clean)
-
Even the green trees are still a
lot of work
| Mike has made
a special "bench" for peeling Vigas |
 |
| Mike
demonstrates peeling a viga using a draw-knife. Notice most of the bark
has already been peeled off, probably by the photographer. |
 |
| Jo is
disturbed temporarily for a photo. Note there's a lot of bark left to be
peeled off. |
 |
| Here are a few
of the hand-peeled vigas so far... |
