Thank you Peter! I really get a lot of information from your videos. I am a long way from being good at any of this stuff, but your videos really inspire me

Wow, that is really neat to watch! Are there any alternative species of trees that you can harvest the bark in this way? I am surprised thar someone hasn’t come up with a machine similar to the machine veneer slicing process that can do this in order to cut down on the manual labor. Thanks for sharing, Peter!

Are there any other trees that would have good bark like that?

This is a chapter in a series I did on making the Jennie Alexander chair. The whole series is a vimeo-on-demand project here vimeo.com/ondemand/jachairpf

Is there a season to harvest the bark? or could you do it at any time of the year?
@MrFollansbee10 күн бұрын
I've only ever done it during the spring/early summer. I've heard of people doing it, with difficulty, in winter. but why? When it's like peeling a banana in spring?

Is there any other suitable bark for this?

Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) will work the same way. See Drew Langsner's book Country Woodcraft Then & Now through Lost Art Press.

Elm works as well.

@@wesmartin937 I was thinking about elm would be tough on draw knife mind. Had to clear loads in the uk from Dutch elm disease and to be "allowed" to use the timber the bark needs to be removed so would score with chainsaw and hammer it all off ridiculous really.
