In this video I continue the process of refining the flax fibers. Scutching the flax removes the majority of the cellulose core of the flax which is still attached to the fibers after "breaking".

There was one of these in my great grandfather's shed and no one ever knew what it was for. Several ideas floated around in the family, but linen production never came up. So thank you for this, you've solved a near century of mystery in my family! 👍

Interesting how language preserves memories of things that were previously widely done (flax production in this case), but are now uncommon. Case in point, growing up it was not unusual for a naughty child to hear "Cut that out, or I'm going to give you such a Scutchin'!" My locale was settled by Scots-Irish who worked heavily with flax before coming to America. They stopped producing linen, but the expression persisted until 30 years ago or so. (My own ancestors saved three years worth of linen profits to come from Coleraine. It took them 10 years of saving up a little at a time. When they got here, they decided milling was a better job.)

This is great. I grow flax for spinning and use a different tool but have the components to make my break. I have no shop to do the job in so have been rather reluctant to tackle the task. I did make a scutch but I don't use a board. I just hold the fibers in my hand and let them hang and whack away and it does a great job. Just as good as using a board if not even better.
