Birch bark blanks

Description

Handles from birch bark have been used for centuries by people in Scandinavia and around the Polar Circle for knives, fishing rods and other daily-use objects that have to be light, yet have a good grip.

Blanks in the betula manus®-quality are ideal for building your own handles from birch bark. Cylindrical, with a continuous bore, dimensions: Ø 31 x 100 mm or Ø 41 x 100 mm.

These blanks are made to meet the specific demands of craftspeople. They are perfectly suited as a source material for making handles that not only look great and have a unique grip, but also meet the highest technical requirements.

Our partners at betula manus® manufacture these blanks for us in a patented process that makes the most of the material properties unique to birch bark. By the way, the sensational bm1 products by betula manus® are also manufactured in the same way.

Only the highest quality types of bark are used in the process. After careful selection, the bark is thoroughly cleansed and prepared for gluing in a special process that allows the maximum penetration of glue. The gluing itself is then carried out under an exactly predefined pressure, which guarantees that the bark is never compressed more than is absolutely necessary. Avoiding too much compression in this way preserves the restoring force of the honeycomb-shaped cell structure of the material.

To make the processing as easy as possible for you, we have supplemented the instructions with various tips and tricks that you will receive exclusively together with the blanks.
