If i'm not completely mistaken there is actually no need to glue the bark together. Once they are layed and pressed you can bake the handle in oven with mild heat and the natural tar from the bark will glue the slices together :)
@@pystykorva7114 well, i saw similar video and they used about 200 for birsh bark glueing. I agree, 100+ will definately ruin it, but will be ~60 enough to get tar? Anyway, if ill do it natural way, i prefer to make a brick first, and then place it on handle
That was a traditional way of doing it. Yes it works on a low heat. But it needs to be in and out for pressing it together a few times . This is just a different way that works too. It’s a preference
I've seen the old Finnish knife master - Kustaa Lammi himself, not using glue in this process. He just slid them on dry and compacted the shingles to finish with a compacting pommel .
Unfortunatly i don't have the same kind of birch in my area as in scandinavia. The bark is thicker and not that smooth. so it seemed like a good idea to glue the slices together. Apart from that, you are absolutly right, of course! :)
I ran into the same issue. Bark here is thin and much tends to delaminate ( paper birch). I used 120 sheets for a hachet handle! I glued mine as well. Elmers I believe. Then poly to seal.

If you will bake it in owen you will ruin heat treatment
@@andreykotovsky No it will not ruin it if you use mild temperature like 100 degrees Celsius for example.

@@andreykotovsky it is 200F not 200C

Really nice, clean looking handle.
Love the effect when the oil goes on.
Brilliant! Picked up some great tips - cheers
Great work man! Thats true craftsmanship.
Thank you!
What metal is the first and the last piece of the handle, aluminium ? Thank you.
He says brass in the description.

@@grandsonprojects4812 you mean that yours is thicker, or that the scandinav one is thicker?
Woodglut plans are amazing!
Отличная работа, предварительно проще обработать детали отдельно, тыльник, больстер, бересту сняв лишнее на 80-90% а подгону финально в заборе это позволит быстрее и качественней выполнить работу.
Was für ein Aufwand - hat sich aber gelohnt, ist schön geworden.
Gruß Tino
PS: Ich hätte den Griff zusätzlich zum Kleber auch vernietet.
d'you have a link for the blank plz?
What kind of finish did you put on the handle?
No need to glue the bark, but you should warm it in the owen and tighten up as it warms up.
🐻👍🏻 Cool Handle!!!
Thanks:)

Great
It was a lumpy handle. Like a sausage.

It is not at all necessary to destroy the birch. It can easily be used from a fallen tree.
great mistake
