The History of Paper - American Forest and Paper Association
: Historically, solid paper was made from rags (linen or cotton), mulberry bark, or hemp. These materials are cut, mashed into a paste, and mixed with water to create a slurry called "furnish".
: The strength of the paper comes from interweaving these fibers. A mold is used to scoop a thin layer of the slurry, allowing water to drain through a screen.
