First some pitch was smeared over the joint, then the cherry bark was wrapped around and bound tightly with twine or sinew. Finally more pitch was plastered over to make the joint completely watertight. Cherry bark is both strong and flexible and is decorative as well. | Turner, Nancy J. and Barbara S.
