Looks good to me, H&S! Many thanks.
Could you use a plastic tube instead of a wooden pipe, do you think? Or would it spoil the quality of the sap?

It'll do the same job, the reason why I say wood is because it's an abundance in a forest and doesn't leave a footprint.
I consider the bushcrafter to be someone who carries less than a survivalist but uses nature more to their advantage.I'm sure many people are going to disagree.
looks good to me
many thanks
Saps best collected in may, can be used to make wine
Just a crude wooden peg instead of a tube will also do the job of directing the sap. Excellent post..
Thanks, this is a post worthy of the `saved` folder
Good post and a skill that i haven't tried ... the neighbours have a birch tree ?

Damn, I was going to post this. Hardwood peg into the slit will make a good drip line.
I'm sure you can heat up the sap and make a pretty good glue, unless I'm getting that mixed up with another tree.
