Very cool Jamie. Woodland Roamer(Alan) built one, a bit smaller but same construction methods a few years ago.

Hey Jamie, just found this. Great work man!! I know how much work it is, I built one last year, much smaller. I can't imagine getting the bark for one the size of yours! Great job and can't wait to see more. Here is a pic of mine.

i was looking for this pic before. i remember when you posted this. how are the sheets staying on with out the outer poles. hopefully we have enough bark to finish. i think we are ok. i pealed one more last thursday but the bark is just starting to stick and i got some cracks in them.

Jamie, I drilled small holes in the bark and tied it to the frame with strips of inner bark from willow trees kind of like these guys do on this site: http://pathwayscrg.org/Project_Portfolio/Project_Portfolio.html

They also put the poles around the outside. I tried the poles around the outside like you're doing but I couldn't get the bark to lay flat without the ends curling up pretty bad. But I see you have your bark layed out flat to cure some first. I think that is where I went wrong, I was putting most of the bark on fresh off the tree and I just couldnt get the outer pole method like you're using to work well. If I did it again I would collect all the bark first and lay it out like you have to cure some then build the frame. Even with it tied down I still had some ends curl over the winter as the bark dried out more when the humidity was down and it opened up some gaps between some of the panels that I didnt overlap enough. So this summer I had to get a few more panels to fill in gaps here and there.
