removing birch bark
« on: April 14, 2019, 05:09:56 pm »
so i have a bunch of silver birch that i got from these people who cut down 2 of their trees and the bark doesnt want to budge, should just have patience or is there a shortcut. will it just start to pop off with age?

If it was cut before it's growing season you'll have to remove it with a draw knife and elbow grease. When was it cut and how was it handled since then?
