CHAPTER II. CORK STRIPPING. 6.—Removing the Outer Bark.—The cork of commerce, or corkwood, is the outer bark of the cork tree, which belongs to the oak family and which has been described. This outer bark can readily be removed during the summer months, gen- erally during July and August, without harm to the tree, although considerable skill is required if injury to the inner or sap-carrying bark is to be avoided. French strippers some- times use crescent-shaped saws, but Spanish strippers in- variably use a long-handled hatchet, the handle tapered at the butt in the shape of a wedge. When cork oak trees attain a diameter of about five inches, or measure forty centimeters in circumference according to the Spanish practice, which fixes the age of the tree at about twenty years, the virgin outer bark is removed. It is customary to cut the l)ark clear through around the base of the tree and again around the trunk just below the main branches, the two incisions then being connected by probably two vertical cuts. By using the long handle of the hatchet as a wedge and lever, the tree's outer bark is easily pried off. The lower portions of the limbs are stripped in like manner, frequently yielding a liner grade of corkwood than that of the trunk. The thickness of this virgin outer bark varies from about one- half to two and one-half inches, while the yield per tree also varies from a half hundred to several hundred pounds, depending on both its size and age when the virgin stripping is accomplished. 7.—Virgin <strong>Cork</strong>.—This virgin cork bark, called "borniza" in Spain, is rough, coarse and dense in texture. It is there- fore of limited commercial value, except as used by florists 10
