Bark is a material seldom used nowadays but not too long ago the bark of the cedar and the birch tree were an integral part of the lives of countless people and for thousands of years.

The traditional uses of the cedar bark, either woven or shredded among the west coastal people ranged from rope to blankets: hats, baskets, mats, clothes. And where the birch was abundant, people depended on their birch bark canoe to brave powerful rivers.

These natural materials are of superior quality, they are strong durable and light weight.

All Bark with contrast.

quiver making

I am working with bark in the traditional manner and taking care of everything from harvesting to shipping myself.

The finding, harvesting and preparing of the bark is a lengthy process. I do not strip of their bark alive trees; I seek for dead or already down trees and pick the best bark's thickness and color for my purpose.

Then I cut it off, wet it, clean it, slice it , bend it and sometimes split the thickness.

And then...I still have to make a quiver!

Color and finishes

The finish object is hand-rubbed with many coats of linseed oil. Also you can have the bark dyed for interesting highlights

Charms are carved from shed elk antlers, by an expert antler artist from British Columbia Canada. Handblown glass beads and stone arrow heads are also available. The charm is to bring luck while shooting. Your favourite animal is usually a good thing to start with for custom totems.
