Dave: In Western Washington, alders are a very common tree, at least from just south of the Canadian border, where birches sort of "take over" as you go north....
The question is how easy is it to make the glue? The word is that birch needs some very complicated processes to produce anything useful, and so far nobody's...
Dave: I don't know how easy or hard it would have been for Neandertals(or anybody else living then)to make the glue. My "sense" is, that it wouldn't be any...
To all: The question of glue is also important re: The N-flute. The published viewpoint of Nowell & Chase was that my analysis of the holes conforming to a...
... Incidentally, someone said that nobody had found a way to make the glue without ceramics. What methods have been tried? For example, I suppose the first...
Dave, I used to live in northern Wisconson where there was an abundance of birch trees. I seem to recall that some people tapped birch trees the same way they...
It does seem that pine pitch would be easier to turn into a glue. Birch sap is actually quite good tasting, but boiling it down probably incurs the same...

There seems to be a confusion here between sap and resin, which are two different things. Amber is (fossilised) resin from ancient conifers including...

And the site says the Finns also made birch tar that way, but it was used as a lubricant, not an adhesive. Maybe they just quit before it got to the adhesive...
