Hi Angela,
I would...( Chew them on the end..)
It might be the best way to make them.
It may cause the long separable fibers to be cleaner and more supple than
other means.
So I would do it that way, and also try other methods, and see what could be
learned about method-results.
Best wishes...
Phil

Hi Angela, all...
Saliva contains enzymes and surfactants, which break down certain elements
in materials as well as hydrating them more rapidly than plain Water would.
A Wooden Mallet would not possess these possibly important
features/attributes for the Yucca Leaf Stem to be converted into a Brush.

Hi right back at ya Phil!!
Then I guess they should all grab a piece of yucca
and chew up a new brush.
Would be really authentic .
