Cedar bark, there is so much history found in its uses. This video demonstrates a quick, easy method to prepare your bark for weaving. Today we use a leather cutting tool, called the Table Top Leather Lace Cutter, or a Jerry Stripper.
After soaking the raw cedar bark strip for 3 hours or so, cut into 1 inch width strips.
Then split bark into two lengths, before cutting again into 1/8" , 1/4" , or 1/2" inch strips.
Dry cut strips, by bundling into small rolls for later weaving if not used all at once.
