Torches

 |
This torch is made of bamboo and a cattail
head. Note the well (partial internode) that the cattail sits in—it is
full of olive oil. I have subsequently used rendered bear fat
successfully (thanks Sue!). --

Here are two bark torches. The one on the
bottom is made from White Birch and the one on top is made from Cherry.
Torches in this section made by "Doc". |

Torch made from White Birch bark. The bark
is rolled up and tied with string (cordage). |

Torch made from Cherry bark. Again, the
bark is rolled up and tied. It needs to be tied twice, once at each
end, so it will stay together when the cordage nearest the top burns
through. |
