Natural edge box with the bark as lid
Aage Rendalen
Seeing the thick elm and cherry bark nearly separated from blanks left outside made me wonder if anybody has tried removing the bark in once piece before turning and then cutting/sawing/turning the bark into a lid? Seems like it would be a fun piece to do.

Sounds like the start of a fun series. Go for it.

Cottonwood has the thickest bark. If you take the bark off most logs when wet, it will curl like a potato chip. You need to flatten it and keep it weighed down to keep it flat.
