I was given a small piece which I use to educate people I have on tour about this very fine old art. This tiny piece is signed by Morning Star 06. If anyone knows someone in the area that has some pieces for sale, please contact me. Thanks! Lyndaepo@gmail.com

Can’t find any pricing for these items, if anyone can help that would be great.

I never did learn to birch bark bite but then I have to have the teeth to do it. Ha ha . I finally found someone who knows how to birch bark bite and I am hoping to have her come to my class this spring. I come back everyone once in awhile to see what other people wrote about Birch Bark biting. Thanks Bruce for having such a interesting blog. Happy New Year to you and your family.
