A Very Cool Project in the Making

While frolicking in the water, Craig found a HUGE birch tree that had fallen into the lake. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the bark was all coming off in huge sheets, revealing an amazing deep orange and red underside in addition to the beautiful textured white exterior. He carefully removed all the bark, cleaned it with a scrub brush (with assistance from Mira) and tenderly set it out to dry. We are still in the brainstorming stage, but we think we are going to try and figure out a way to affix the bark to the risers on the stairs in our new house. Other creative ideas?
