Birch bark processing

[unoriginal name]

What is the fastest way to process birch bark for a stacked handle? I did it without a plan and it was a lot slower than I had imagined.

Scrape/prep, cut with scissors, use a punch.

Not sure there exists an easier way.

I don't know if I harvested it in the wrong way or not, but in the bark there are lot of embedded pieces from the layer underneath it if that makes any sense.
I wonder if it is spots where buds and twigs have been.

Can those pieces be used?

Got a.picture? Birch bark isn't smooth it has these.little jammies that pop up all over.the paper....If we are talking about the same thing it should not present an.issue once compressed... Good luck
