Looking for Birch Bark for Bow Backing

<< < (3/3)

Marc St Louis:
When it's thinned for decorative use the bark is quite flexible.  Trees up here can have 2 different types of bark it seems though.  One type is quite flexible and will stretch when pulled, when it's thin that is.  The other type seems brittle and you can actually rip the bark apart by hand across the grain, the flexible type will not rip by hand no matter how hard you try.
