With its graceful silhouette and distinctive white bark, the birch
tree has been important to people wherever it has grown. This book
covers all aspects of the North's most versatile tree--from its
biology and ecology to its different uses, craft applications, and
legends. Some of the lore revealed includes birch's role as a Welsh
token of love and its mysterious connection with witches' brooms.
In addition to learning about how the wood is used in baskets,
shoes, and wood coverings, readers can also make more than 15 craft
projects from instructions in the book, including folded bark
baskets, carved ornaments, and turned wooden bowls.
