Furniture Quality Bark - Our bark comes from the Tiaga (woods) of Siberia. We consider it to be the finest bark there is. It is neatly trimmed in flat sheets approximately 2'x2' or 2'x3', or larger rolls of approximately 2'x 8'. The sheets vary in thickness from about 1/16" to 1/8". Most of the rolls are about 1/8" thick. Siberian bark is very flexible - almost leather-like. It varies widely in look. Please tell us what you need and want and we will do our best to find sheets that match. We have a very ample supply.

2'x2' Siberian Sheets and Domestic Grade A Sheets
      Price is $8.75 per square foot.
3'x2' Siberian Sheets and Domestic Grade A Sheets
      Price is $10.75 per square foot.
8'x2' Rolls
      Price is $12.75 per square foot

Below is a sampling of what these sheets look like. Depending on supplies we will do our best to provide you the look you desire.

Birch Bark Tubes - This bark comes from dead trees. As a result it tends to hold its natural curl around the tree. This works well for baskets, candles or anything that would wrap around a cylinder. It has more character and does not come in exact dimensions. Tell us about your project and we will let you know if this bark will work for you.
      $6.50 per sq foot

Craft Quality Bark - Bark designated "craft quality" typically has a scarred white side and the tan side is used for baskets, wig wams, etc. It also works well in rustic furniture when you are using the tan side to contrast with the white. It comes from the part of the tree that is below the snow line so is rough and dark or the white has been scuffed in the harvest process but the tan side is OK.
      $6.50 per sq foot

Birch Bark Wall and Ceiling Panels - In most wall and ceiling applications the bark needs to be attached to a substrate such as plywood which then in turn can be attached to the wall or ceiling. The steps involved while not difficult can be time consuming and if you plan on using a contractor who has never worked with bark before this can add up in expense. This is why we offer the option of purchasing pre-pressed and backed panels. Now your contractor can finish a whole room in a matter of hours.

Each panel is vacuum pressed and glued using the finest veneer adhesive available. If the application is not going to be adhered to a wall or contained surface then a backing or balancing veneer needs to be adhered to reduce the chance of warping or cupping. This can be the least expensive option due to the time you will save.

Price
      $7.50 plus the price of the bark for Meranti substrate 1/4" thick
      $8.50 per square foot 1/2" thick Meranti substrate
      $10.00 per square foot 3/8" or 1/2" thick Baltic Birch substrate
            6"x8" sample available for $10 plus shipping.

These samples are 1/2" meranti with oak balance veneer. Note how flat the bark lays on the substrate despite ridges in the bark.
