Making a Spruce Bark Basket

Using hand tools and materials gathered in the forest, I build a spruce bark basket. I gather bark, cut the shape, sew the edges with spruce roots and add a wooden frame around the top edge. I hope you enjoy the video ! Too minimize my impact on the forest, I gather the bark from a tree that had already fallen after a severe windstorm.

En utilisant des outils à main et des matériaux récoltés en forêt, je construis un panier en écorce d'épinette. Je récolte l'écorce, je découpe la forme, je coud les coins et j'installe un cadre en saule pour renforcir le panier. Pour minimiser l'impact sur la forêt, je récolte mon écorce sur un arbre qui avait déjà tombé à cause d'une tempête récente.

    Great job! I like pine bark as well. It has cool green color.

    I am impressed that you were able to split that stick in half. I usually tear too much to one side

    would be nice if you said what you used to bind basket and how to prepare it. Also what tree branch you are using for the rim.

    Turned out, awesome man. and the bonus of a bow drill fire! Brilliant!
  • @DannyWalker1949
    Really Nice Work on the Basket. And, who started the fire was Very Quick at it too. I think it was the fastest I've ever seen to start a fire using those tools. NICE!
