Hand-crafted Birch bark jewellry box #YakutKnife growing quickly and then rottingHand crafted Birch bark jewellry box BIRCH! Birch is an amazing tree! Up north we are truly blessed by the Creator to have such an amazing tree that gives us all its treasures: 1. WOOD BURL. Very light strong wood to craft cups, spoons etc. Karelian birch wood pattern looks amazing on knife handles. Burls on roots are the best traditional material for Yakut knives handles because of their density and strength. 2. BIRCH BARK to craft everything with.
