Rustic Birch Bark Crafts

Bring the charm of the North Woods to your rustic home, cabin, camp, or cottage. These rustic birch bark accessories are ideal for augmenting your decor. They will bring a focal point to your living area and be a topic of conversation as unique pieces of artwork while being functional at the same time.

The materials I use are white birch bark, gray birch twigs, acorns, pine cones, lichens, and anything else I find of interest in the woods. These are then made into mirrors, lamps, photo frames, signs, and switch plates.

The items displayed here are handcrafted by Bob McLean, renown New Hampshire crafter, of bark from dead birch trees. Similar pieces may be obtained from League of New Hampshire Craftsmen galleries and Squam Lakes Artisans Gallery listed with links below.
