Coppicing trees for spear shafts and other tools
#35
Hardwood copse in your backyard? ...argh!!

If I call you good gentlemen bastardii it comes with a price.. one I am quite willing to pay! .. a liquid price to be sure, and often amber coloured....

I'm working on some resources for acquisition of usable green wood... but most of the usable wood around here is on Federal or State land... either as forest preserves of some sort or another, or military bases. I'm screwed!

About 4200 sq mi or 11000 sq km .. huge!
But....
1/3 desert (the sand and cactus kind)
1/3 mountains
1/3 coastal valleys and foothills

2/3rds of all of that owned by the government
