An interesting native contraption that process raw abaca fibers into a fine product good enough to sell as material for "sinamay" cloth. They just use small timber frames, pieces of iron and a rope. This video was taken by the Trailhawk at the campsite on Mount Manunggal, Balamban, Cebu, PI. The pink guy in the video is Wil Rhys-Davies aka Jungle Wil and Mr. Polding Bonghanoy, a local resident.
Ah, if flax were so simple!
