Title: Look at this Mountain Don
Post by: peternap on September 27, 2008, 07:55:37 PM
I think you were playing with an idea like this once.
The new Bass Pro in Hanover has siding made out of 1 foot squares of bark. It has been pressed flat and as near as I can tell, is real.

It is poplar bark, there are a lot of houses here in NC mountains with it. A builder down the road makes it as he clears land to build.

or you can buy it  www.poplarbarksiding.com

The building beside our house was sided in 1923 and just a few pieces have been replaced.

Thanks, Mo.

I didn't know what it was.  That's cool stuff.
