What happens here

In the summertime, when trees are actively growing and producing a new layer, there is sufficient sap and water present between the cambium layer and the actual hardwood. This natural lubrication allows the bark to be easily separated and "pried right off" the tree without excessive force.

Tools and materials

  • Prying tool — To assist in separating the bark from the tree, though often it can be done by hand
  • Tree bark — The primary raw material for creating the panels
