My `wild` mulberries were disturbing people passing the path, so I decided to cut them to make paper ( They are wild because it started growing suddenly a few years ago, first one branch, three, five ..... ).  Usually Kozo for papermaking is cut every year in fall, but I couldn't wait until fall !

It's very easy to peal off the bark if you do it right after cutting the branches.

........ very difficult to explain any kinds of process in English for me. But thank you for reading this blog as always.
 

Let me try to explain...
