Grégory Reynaud: In America I know that Natives used Pine roots in order to sew waterproof birch bark canoës...
We used it in France for chemistry in the Landes since XIXth cent. and locally it can release a substance called Mercapto-éthanol which stinks a lot... But generally we separate bark which is crushed in order to be put in flower pots sometimes melted with peats... We also can use the resin as a kind of joint in shipbuilding... Some extracts were used to produce varnish during 18th century. That's also used to produce a local glue in order to catch birds (wrens)... And that should be checked but some prehistoric dug-out pirogue were found also... Pines are so important for south-western France that we had a whole institute for that. Alas I realized that it closed in 2010...
