piñon resin

[kellan_the_tabby]

wildharvested, wildcrafted • or if you prefer • pickin greens • well, more sort of browns in this case •

anyways you’ll get an ounce (by weight) of piñon resin • (each of the little piles in the first pic is about an ounce • for reference) • which i’ve harvested with GREAT CARE • from piñon pine trees here in the east mountains of new mexico • (i didn’t want to stab the trees in the process you see • that would be unkind)

you’ll get some bigger pieces • & some smaller pieces • if you buy more than one ounce at a time • i’ll try to find you a BIG BIG piece • (those are kinda cool)

so you’re all but • what do i do with the stuff? • it makes happy-smelling incense • (sacred stuff in more than one tradition) • it’s also helpful for starting fires • (burning things: a definite theme here) • BUT it’s also useful in making salves • (ofc i’ve got one in process • you can play along tho)

i haven’t processed or treated the resin in any way • (other than to try to pick off some of the bark • there’ll still be some on there though probably) • no pesticides or anything on the trees • all i’ve done is water each tree I harvested resin from • i mean that seemed fair?

I thought they were rocks in the photo at first :) I've learnt a few things here - and I think it's lovely and appropriate that you watered the trees as a thank you.

Leave em long enough & they'll be rocks.

...okay, a couple million years. I tend to slip into geological time sometimes.

It's cool stuff & I'm glad I live where I can wander into the backyard & just get some. Pretty often I'll put a piece right on top of the woodstove so it'll slowly melt & it smells SO. So nice.
