Apparently if done in a stream it damages the water quality and the stench is right up there with sewer or paper plants. From what I have read, the flax fiber processors were required to live way out of town.
I have read some descriptions of tools that help to process the fiber. If you can get a book on this, it could be helpful to create them. Sharon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
