I feel very attracted to working with birch bark. Perhaps is because I saw Ray Mears do it when I was a kid or maybe I have Nordic roots.

Thats incredible. I wonder if I could make a hot tub out of bark? Then drop hot stones into the water to heat it up.

I've seen these birch baskets in latvia, where people would collect mushrooms and berries in them.

Wild foraging was my intended purpose in researching how these are made. I'm impressed by its validity for so many things

Does anyone know how to make the birch bark hat? Or at least how to shield on the hat/cap is attached?

@scotterspotters7273 Жыл бұрын

Yeah started working with birch bark 5 years ago I'll do until I die, it's calming and breathe taking how beautiful the art that comes out of these wonderful trees.

That is fantastic work! I'm very glad I found this channel! On a similar topic, many peoples around the world use bark cloth for making clothing and fabrics for varied purposes. Does Mr. Kochanski have any knowledge or experience in making bark cloth? And I wonder what kinds of trees would be suitable in the Ohio area for making bark cloth (tulip poplar perhaps)?

Love it, how is the bark treated before being worked on? Any tips?

@Karamat 3 жыл бұрын

No treatment. Harvest and carve.

You could repair the old basket with pine pitch the way that one would repair a birch bark canoe, but I'm sure that you are aware of that. Thanks for the great video.

@Arthurian. Жыл бұрын

Pine pitch is really quite brittle. Do you think it would Crack up from use?

@charlesleblanc6638 Жыл бұрын

@@Arthurian. you also need to add animal fat to it, so it won't be brittle.
