This is really cool it is how they make traditional pitch forks from hackberry trees. These take 6 years starting from when the hackberry sprouts began to be oriented until it was ready for field work.

Short video shows the basics....

There is a full 15 minute documentary on it but you need to turn on Closed Caption (which is in English) unless you speak Spanish if you want to understand what is being said. Full documentary is here....

That could work with coppiced and trained Ash or oak. 🤔

Monesma has amazing content! I speak Spanish, but I turn on caption as well. It’s certainly not Castilian Spanish, I think some of it may be influenced by Catalan or something. It’s definitely got a rural vibe to it that I like listening to.
