Nice little Xmas project there buddy!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

They look nice Pottz. I'm in the process of getting some gifts completed here. I guess I need to start early in the year as not to be rushed.

Nice project, pottz. Birch bark sure is pretty.

I’ve wondered where your moniker came from. Now I know…

I always thought these were nice looking. I will plan on getting a few small birch limbs or small logs on my next trip to the Rocky Mountains. Good job. Mike

Interesting use of cut offs Larry. Do they stay together?

Pottz commented almost 2 years ago
