Birch bark

<< < (2/3) > >>

mullet:
Joe, just separate it into layers and when you use it try Tight Bond Glue thinned with water.

GlisGlis:
I saw a youtube video of an old man doing birch bark objects.
Dont remember the title and it was in an eastern europe language.
Every time he needed to ply or model the bark he putted it in boiling water for a minute
He used carefully scraped and thin birch bark layer.
You may need to let in water more time if you got thicker layers

BowEd:
Yep birch bark is cool stuff.Nice stuff to have around.Can be used as a skin over sinewed bows too.

iowabow:
Joe I hope you post some photos of any project with the bark.

Wolf Watcher:
John:  It's probably a good thing that I can't post pictures on the site.  I hope to make one the these quivers for the Classic donations.  I am trying to decide what to line it with and am thinking some antelope skin from Africa or some leather from some local hides I already have.  Any opinions are surely welcome.  Joe
