specificEpithet: triandra
occurrenceRemarks:
For artist charcoal two cultivars are preferred: Black Maul (Salix triandra) and Bowles Hybrid (S. viminalis). Post harvest processing differs from that of basketry. Once stripped of bark, one-year old withies are cut and placed into large metal boxes and heated without oxygen for nine hours. The result is straight, thin, fragile sticks of various diameters that are packed into boxes of 25 sticks apiece. In 2002, Ann Coate said 'you can buy artists' charcoal anywhere in the world and there's a strong chance it will come from Somerset'. The main competition comes from China. 'Artists generally want a high quality product which is why the top brands, such as Pelikan, and Fusains, use our charcoal.' All export orders exceed 5000 boxes at a time. A niche product, charcoal depends less on visitors and a fickle market than basketry. There can be a few better examples of how a traditional activity has adapted to exploit a new marketing opportunity. Harvesting: Willow stems harvested from above. The company cultivates 35 ha withies which are cut mechanically every 3-4 years. Each withy bed remains productive for 30-50 years.

Sustainable harvesting can be carried out if the seaweed is cut, rather than pulled, which avoids damage to holdfasts.

occurrenceRemarks:
Sold at Cookie's Crab Shop, Salthouse, north Norfolk. Harvested from salt marshes of north Norfolk coast. Collecting takes place between min-June and mid-September. It is harvested by pulling entire plant with roots by hand (collected by Peter McNesbie). Larger plants are selected, and those that have gone to flower or seed are not collected. As an estimate, about 10-15 kg/day samphire are collected by Peter. Samphire is sold in the Crab Shop - served with seafood salads. It is also sold fresh for £1/bag (each bag holds about 0.5kg). The shop also pickles samphire for sale in the shop year-round, it is based on an old family recipe. Product price (retail): £2.50/large jar

occurrenceRemarks:
J. & F.J. Baker & Co Ltd are the last oak bark tanners in the UK. The tannery employs 28 staff (8 FT; 20 PT). Most employees are from local area. The bark is processed on-site. It is first dried for three years and then ground using a water mill to power the grinder. The bark must not be ground too finely, otherwise it will produce a pulpy mass. The bark is soaked in water with verona. This sample is part-processed, it has already been dried for three years and is ready to be ground further.  Oak barkfrom coppiced oak from the Lake District, Wales and the Forest of Dean. 15 t/year is used by the tannery. The oak bark from the Lake District was harvested by Brian Crawley.

specificEpithet: triandra
occurrenceRemarks:
For artist charcoal two cultivars are preferred: Black Maul (Salix triandra) and Bowles Hybrid (S. viminalis). Post harvest processing differs from that of basketry. Once stripped of bark, one-year old withies are cut and placed into large metal boxes and heated without oxygen for nine hours. The result is straight, thin, fragile sticks of various diameters that are packed into boxes of 25 sticks apiece. In 2002, Ann Coate said 'you can buy artists' charcoal anywhere in the world and there's a very strong chance it will have come from Somerset'. The main competition comes from China. 'Artists generally want a high quality product which is why the top brands, such as Pelikan, and Fusains, use our charcoal.' All export orders exceed 5000 boxes a time. A niche product, charcoal depends less on visitors and a fickle market than basketry.  There can be few better examples of how a traditional activity has adapted to exploit a new marketing opportunity. Harvesting: Willow stems harvested from above.The company cultivates 35 ha withies which are cut mechanically every 3-4 years. Each withy bed remains productive for 30-50 years.

Foliage deep green, leathery; petiole and leaf rachis yellowish. Habitat being totally destroyed- trees being cut for charcoal and fence posts (includinf C. ferrea). Area eventually grassed for cattle. As in coastal areas, Chloroleucon tortum also present, with very similar bark but softer timber andcontorted sinuey trunk. Same species as lewis 1623 but coastal specimen, multiple trunked, of lower stature and different crown shape. Wood sample taken from cut timber on ground (almost certainly from a different tre in the area) - produces a ringing sound when chopped, very hard and difficult to saw. Vernacular name 'pau ferro'.

Label source: Organic and chemical free 100g Directions: Remove contents from the jar. Sit jar in shallow hot water to keep warm. Using the spoon provided, put a small (amount?) of the seaweed treatment formulation into the jar. Gradually add a few drops warm/hot water, m,eave in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes. (For sensistive skin we recommend using low nitrate still mineral water). Gently apply the mask paste to the face and neck. Find time to tilt the head backwards and relax. Gently wash off in warm water. The mask will draw impurities from the skin - a unique botanical coating will leave the skin soft, supple and refreshed. OR: Scrub directly on to the body whilst in the shower, wash off

occurrenceRemarks:
Muro - A cave or cellar underground is used, where practicable; otherwise, an air-tight case, made of wood, with rough unplaned planks inside.  These are thoroughly wetted before the lacquered article is put in to dry, which occupies a period varying from six to fifty hours, according to the time of the year or style of the lacquer.  Lacquer will not dry or harden properly in the open air; it absolutely requires a damp closed atmosphere to do so, otherwise it would run and always remain sticky.  (This iscopied from the Quin Report on lacquer, 1882)

The top thatch which performs the weathering of the roof edge is correct except for slight misalignment (correct line has been pencilled on the thin matchboards).  Bamboo nails have been used as on the original in fixing the bark, which is the 2mm skin left after the more fibrous outer layers have been pared away.

The wood of C. bacillaris is used for walking sticks, and Gamble states that the 'alpenstocks' used throughout the West Himalaya are usually made of it. L.A.B. 23.9.29. 'I recently bought a long walking stick from an Indian Scout at the Jamboree and I am very anxious to know what the wood is. All he could tell me was that it was cut in the Himalayan Mountains in India. It was too long for me so I cut a bit off which I now enclose. It had been barked before I got it and cured with a thick oil smelling of sandle (sandal)? wood. I have tried to rub this off with glass paper.

Label source:  Natural Order Pittosp.: 1. Pittosporum undulatum, Vent. - A tree growing in favourable situations to a height of 40ft or even 60ft, native of New South Wales and Victoria.  It furnishes a light, even-grained wood, which attracted some attention at the International Exhibition in 1862; some blocks were prepared from it, and submitted to Prof. de la Motte, of King's College, who reported as follows: 'I consider this wood well adapted to certain kinds of wood engraving.  It is not equal to Turkey box, but it is superior to that generally used for posters, and I have no doubt that it would answer for the rollers of mangles and wringing-machines'. Mr W G Smith, in a report in the Gardeners Chronicle for July 26th, 1837, p.1017, on some foreign woods which I have submitted to him for trial, says that the wood of P.u. is suitable  only for bold outlines; compared with box, it soft and tough, and requires more force to cut than box. The toughness of the wood causes the tools to drag back, so that great care is required in cutting to prevent the lines slipping.  The average diameter of the wood is from 18in.
