Holzbitzler
The term Holzbitzler describes the Waldler (residents of the Bavarian and Bohemian Forests ), who mainly practiced bitzling as seasonal work in the winter months and made household appliances and preliminary products from local wood until the 1960s .
The tools included blueberry combs , wooden forks , rakes and shovels as well as wooden spoons, beaters and wooden shoes . Also were baking trays produced as well as the depression Hauer make. The preliminary products included sieve edges , wooden pencils for shoemakers and wooden wire . The latter was made by wooden wire cutters as thin wooden sticks made from knot-free spruce wood, one to two meters in length. The wooden wire was processed into roller blinds, wall coverings or cheese mats on looms.
