Two birch bark frames with pinecones

Birch bark picture frames and mirrors have adorned Adirondack camps and cabins for centuries and were a favorite winter project for the Adirondack guides to make. This is a great class for beginners with limited experience with woodworking and tools. You will be provided an 8”x10” frame and will learn how to cut and fasten the birch bark, twigs and other natural objects to create your own ‘masterpiece’. You’ll be proud to hang this in your home!
