Made You Look: Harvesting Birch Bark Responsibly

If Peter Follansbee’s birch-bark containers in Fine Woodworking issue #322 intrigue you as much as they do me, you’ll likely start keeping an eye out for downed birch trees to harvest the bark from responsibly. This informative video from CITC Design Alaska provides all the information you need. All you need is a knife, a stick carved into a spatula, and a little patience. Oh, and you’ll need to find a birch tree as well—that can be the hard part unless you’re in one of the nation’s colder climates.
