A good source of cottonmood bark is Art Olver at artolver@comcast.net or call him at 253.804.3488. They don't call him the Barkman for nothing.

BTW, welcome to the board. You will find a wealth of information and help here.

You can also find some really huge stuff from chipping away in Canada, they sell it by the pound.

I collect my cottonwood bark locally. While the really big pieces are rare, I get plenty of pices that are 2"-3" thick, 3"-4" wide, and 12"+ long.

Don't suppose you guys know of anything like that available in the UK do you? I keep seeing all these great bark woodspirits and I'd love to try them but I've never seen a tree with bark thick enough in this country
