Description
This was part of a video that included the Kellam Wolverine and my Leather Pouches . I no longer have the knife or the pouches so I took the video down .. A friend recently asked where the video was and wanted some pointers for himself and his son . The video has been heavily edited to show just the Punkwood processing . I hope this helps you out CJ .
Punkwood is not a particular species of wood .. The punk or punky refers to a stage of decomposition . The process was used back in the day because fabric for charcloth was very valuable .. Punkwood was not . Not everyone could use cloth or clothing for fire lighting material but all could use wood .
Its a skill that requires a lot of attention but still one I find enjoyable and rewarding .
