    Hello from Alaska! Thanks for a great video, this will help me protect my knives and we have so many birches here and other great trees that fall down in storms etc. Thanks.

      Ah nice, Birch is amazing for this project so best of luck in having a go! ~Peace~

    Thanks Paul and Zed! I always thought making sheaths like this would be dead fiddly but thanks to you i've just made 2 nice ones for hook knives from cardboard and leather in about 10 minutes.

      Nice going Simon! i've seen some folk make some real funky sheaths using just that ~Peace~

    Thanks both - very timely that I just stumbled on this. Felled a small cherry yesterday to try carving some spatulas and spoons from. Noticed how easily the bark peeled off and how durable it felt. Having watched this I just nipped up the garden in the dark and stripped a bit of bark off a small cherry log and ten minutes later my little mora has a pretty little rustic sheath. Might just need to let it dry a bit before I leave my knife in it! Thank you for a cracking quick and easy project. I might have to think about getting a book or two and trying something harder :-)

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thats awesome to hear Ian, Cherry bark makes great sheaths and indeed there are some great books out there which go deeper into the project. Look up the one made by 'North House Folk School' in the US which is a fantastic book about Birch bark and its uses ~Peace~

    Also, I tried it with leaves from my yucca plant…. Worked really well!

    Great video, glad to see you back Zed. I wanted to mention that there is a great deal of birch bark available in my neck of the woods(Canada) along the hydro lines. They cut down Birch trees after ice storms. With in a km walk, there might be 20-30 trees down. They are just going to rot. So it is a great way to get the bark, without any trouble.

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most definitely Canada and northern US is a prime area for collecting good quality bark hence theres such a rich history there of it being used for hundreds of years ~Peace~

  • @benjamenplus10
    @benjamenplus10 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brilliantly clear explanation , thanks you two ! ( I just shared this vid to my friend Hayley who did a spoon carving course with Paul last summer - she's in hospital after an op at the mo and dreaming about getting back outdoors . This will give her something to look forward to )
    And yeah , the accent thing , lol . I'm a northerner living in London the past 20 odd years , so my accent is well wonky now , but I'll still argue till the cows come home that there's only one "r" in craft ... it's not "crarft" ... ha haaa

    • @Zedoutdoors

    Another great How To vid, Zed. Once again captured all the info as clear as day. I would like to see the vid on harvesting the bark, as I have not been able to get sheets off like that from birch I took from a pile of newly felled trees I found. Thanks for sharing.

    For those people who think that the bark is to thin to work, the natives of Canada would split the bark in 2 so they would be able to use the bark for crafts and other things of the sort.

    How long should this bark dry before you put your knife into it? I would worry about rusting the blades if the bark wasn't dry.

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Lisa, if the bark has been freshly harvested then I would wait a couple of weeks for it to dry, otherwise you're ok to put your knife in straight away. Either way consider using 'Camelia' oil on your blade to prevent it rusting when not in use ~Peace~

    i wonder if using rawhide strips instead of birch bark strips would be any better. soaked in water the rawhide becomes soft and workable. cut into strips and using the same technique as paul did, weave it around the birch bark liner. after a few days rawhide will stiffen and never come undone. just sayin. great vid

    Hi Zed, What's the name of the guy that made the sheaths in the rain that Paul mentions at about 6minutes into the video? Couldn't make it out 'cos o t' southern accent. I was born n'& bred in Lancashire but now live in Cambridgeshire. Local chippys don't do gravy, there's no hills. It's a struggle!

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Simon apologise as rushed for time so cant check the video to hear what he said, Pauls an incredibly generous guy so if you ping him via social media he'll definitely tell you. Sorry dude and apologise for the lack of hills down south! ;) ~Peace~
