a useful bark

While the wood of the birch tree makes for wonderful furniture (among other things) - the bark has been found of value, too.

Here are but three examples:

1. a small, woven basket, traditional handcraft from northern Sweden

2. a layered, hand carved, tight lidded box, traditional Russian handcraft: ecominded.net/birch-bark-crafts

3 used as a cover for a planter, USA
