File:Detaching inner bark of pine.jpg
Summary
Removing the inner bark with the special tool, 'lusa':
Bark of pine was used as emergency food in Finland during famine, last time during and after civil war in 1918.
The surface of the bark was first removed. The inner bark was then detached from the tree by using a special tool made of hard wood e.g. juniper and called "lusa" in Finnish. Soft sheets of inner bark were then available. The sheets were left to dry for a couple of hours and then heated over fire or coals until light brown and fragile. The bark was then ground and the resultant flour was used for bread with rye.
