We had a large birch tree (along with a few other trees unfortunatley) in our woods uprooted by the strong winds we had a week ago.
Was a lovely tree so spent an evening removing the bark, cross-cutting it into sections and splitting it into usable blanks.
So far I've only had time to make a couple of items from it, but there are a few more on their way.
Plaited/woven bark basket:
Dough bowl, approx 16"x 7"
