Ive always seen the bark houses and would love to attempt one, im glad i seen this lovely ladys instructional video today.. thank you, it was great in sight to see just whats involved.

I like using that top edge that often comes away, if it's thick enough, for little whittles. I did an eagle's head not long ago from the 'scrap' off the bark. Thanks for a great video! That bark is beautiful!!!

Thank you for the detailed video. I just started carving houses with my Dad. In the video you mentioned a pdf. How do I find that for download?

Where can you procure Cotton Wood bark to make this kind of carvings?

[@intlassocofwoodcarvers]

Most is harvested in the North West in the US. Usually it is on a downed tree and the bark will just pull off.

Does Catherine have instagram? Would love to see more of her work.
This was a splendid presentation. All the different steps well prepared with example pieces. Only halfway in the video. I carved my second whimsical house a couple of weeks ago. They sure are fun and I came here to get some more and better ideas.

It so is expensive to get bark into Europe. I would really want some pieces, such a joy to carve, almost feels like cheating.

[@intlassocofwoodcarvers]

I bet. Its hard to get it in eastern Canada, I couldn't imagine getting it to Europe.

[@joostborst]

@@intlassocofwoodcarvers At least a 100 dollars on top off the price just for shipping...
I had the pleasure od carving some bark found by someone else and I found some myself but it no where near the thickness and density as they have in the US.
