Does anyone have some yellow birch bark or know where I can get some?
I just seen takefive's awesome cherry bark bow and was thinking that a combo of cherry and birch bark would make a nice contrasting backing.
Paper birch(canoe birch) is the only birch bark I know of that you can use as a backing and only as a decorative baking, unlike choke cherry bark which is quite strong.
Choke cherry! I forgot about it that's what we use to use in North Dakota.
Yellow birch has a golden color looks and is used the same as paper birch.
I guess I could sneak down to the church in the middle of the night and peel a couple of strips of paper birch off the tree. :scared: Nawww
It's only for contrast not for strength.
If any one has some I'm will to beg, borrow or buy. choke cherry, cherry or birch.
I think that would be a very cool looking combo. I don't have access to the cherry bark where I live, so I buy it from Raptor Archery. Make sure you post pic's if you make that bow. :thumbsup:
Thanks takefive, just ordered some paper birch. Headed over to raptor right now to check there supply.
