I had no idea the pieces of bark were that big coming off the tree - wonderful

When I was a kid we stopped and visited with Bill Hafeman. He was a maker of
birch bark canoes in Bigfork, MN. I see his shop is still going -

We were up there to fish the Bigfork River, but complained to Bill they weren’t
biting. “They always bite for me”, he said, pointing to a spear hanging on the
wall.
