Bast is the inner bark of woody plants and trees. For millennia tree bast has been used to make a wide range of everyday items, from string and rope to mats, bags and nets.
From identifying suitable trees to step-by-step guides to the harvesting, processing and preparation of natural lime bast, this illustrated guide explores the long history of tree bast, sets out key techniques, and includes detailed tutorials for six different projects to get you started with this remarkable natural material.
There are also several other videos on my channel that explore working with Tilia (lime, linden, basswood) bast.
