About:

Paper Birch trees (Betula papyrifera), with their distinctive bark, are considered by many to be the most attractive trees in North America.

Native Americans used the bark when making baskets and canoes and early settlers placed sheets of the bark beneath cedar shingles when building houses, as a form of weatherproofing.

This piece depicts four different swatches of birch bark, showing the wide range of color and texture within the various layers of the bark. Shown in 3/4" Natural frame.

Dimension:

13" x 16" (add frame profile for total outside dimension)

Materials:

Alderwood frame covered with water-based nontoxic stain.

Artist Notes:

"The shadow box effect of this piece is sure to receive numerous compliments, especially when you tell them that all the different swatches are from the same tree." - Owen
