That's neat man.  Thanks for sharing.  How do you attach the bark to the frame?

So far, I haven't found any Osage or knappable rock over here.  Embrace the suck

Hey thanks Pat, yep the deer have already walked right past it.

Mike, Thanks and your tipi looks great!!

Thanks Dennis and SelfYewDave.

Thanks Wade, come on up and check it out.

Thanks Rick, what Hillbilly said on the bark, it just slides right off when the sap is flowing in the summer.

Thanks Don, I forgot to mention that I drilled holes and tied the bark to the frame with the inner willow bark. The diamater is about 12 feet on this one and it's about 8 feet high in the middle at the smokehole.

Thanks Dana.

Thanks Mike, it's tied to the frame with inner willow bark.

That has been a long time a coming! Didn't you build a frame a coupla years ago and couldn't find enough bark for the cover?. On Paleo Planet?  Is this the same frame ( with burned ends) or a new one?Looks like the same camp anyway.
 It was worth the wait. Well done.

Thanks Minuteman, yeah it has been a long time coming, you can say that again! I built the frame you remember early in 07 and then never found the bark. Unfortunately that frame was too rotted (and too big) so I took it down and started fresh this spring, made sure I had the bark this time then built the frame.

Thanks huntertrapper, I can't wait for fall!

Thanks Badbill.
