With Roy?
I don't think so.
Sorry about that. The nicotine in the tobacco constricts the blood vessels and the spiderweb gives the PLTs a matrix to adhere to. The honey or scorched milk make enviroments that most bacteria can't grow in.

Really? I'd have thought that honey or milk (even scorched) would provide a medium for bacteria to thrive in. What's the mechanism that kills or stops bacteria in those media?
I'm gonna have to keep that in mind- I get lots of little scrapes and dings all the time...

I'd never heard about scorched milk before but in honey it's a combination of the high sugar content and the natural preservatives the bees put in it. That's why honey will keep for years as long as it's undiluted.

Preservatives in the honey. Or, if you prefer, "natural" antibacterials. Been used for wound treatment as far back as documentation exists.
Never heard of the milk trick. I know that lard and other occlusives with a bit of activated charcoal (soot) have been used to "draw" wounds.
It's odd isn't it. They're OLD rememdies. Apparently it's a situation where a little bit is good but alot makes it bad. I can't explain it very well, and I'm not seriously suggesting it as a way to deal with cuts, it was intended as tongue in cheek with a hint of the truth. I first heard about it when I was a kid, then read the same thing in my copy of _The Practical Nurse_ by Flo. Nightengale. I talked to some of the older nurses at work and they backed it up with anecdotal evidence.

The operative word, of course, is "could".
Interesting. Thinking about how honey does keep, it makes sense.

I doubt it. He'd probably go over, get some willow bark or something, and sew it up right there, explaining his technique.
Yup, got blood all over the work as I recall. I also remember him tossing (a chair?) over his shoulder when he screwed it up beyond saving. "OK, we're going to do something else now" or something.
Actually, I think the "homespun linen" thing would be more of a Martha type thing.

No timeouts. Frank Klausz told us he builds in realtime.
Yep, Roy explained it all Saturday. Said he wasn't doing any work at all. He just reached into a sack and grabbed a draw knife. He said about cut his dern finger off. He apologzed several times for his stitches showing up in the camera tight shots.
