Great job, I really like the bark.

Thanks Craig, the birch bark is my favourite handle material. It has a realy nice feel and traction with the hand.

Do you use epoxy or glue between bark layers? What finish did you use.

 

[Todor Hristov]

There is no glue between the bark and it's finished with a layer of thung oil.
