Thanks Grouser . In my region we have birch trees and a friend of mine gathers bark for me. There are places online where you can buy bark , but you should check them to see where would be the best deal for you .

is the process just like a stacked leather handle? Epoxy and? Thanks and Merry Christmas
 
No , birch bark doesn't need glue. Just stack it , press it and heat it to around 70-80 C in the oven . Then press it a bit more and it sticks to itself , because it's full of natural resin. And Merry Christmas to you.
