Birch bark containers& another willowbark basket















Birch bark containers and another willow bark basket




I have been trying to make several useful items this week using what i can find in and about the woodland i use i started by making a match box out of Birch bark as seen in many bushcraft books and the container i double walled the larger container so i can put soft fruit in it and not get too sloppy. they are simple to make just roll into a size you require and use a tab and groove method and plenty of glue and leave to dry i stitched the Base and the lip of the container for added strength using split spruce roots simple just give it a try but practice first on some cardboard as birch bark is a valuable material..... the willow basket is made just the same as my earlier ones .......
give them a try
see you out there Paul....
