Hi Ironraven,

I am not looking to steal your thread but could someone explain to me how or where to find natural "Fatwood".

I know it is the resin rich portion of an old pine stump but I kicked apart about a dozen stumps today and only found rotten wood. What am I doing wrong?

I am like Ironraven; birch bark everywhere, pine trees too, but I cannot find natural fatwood?

Mike
