day three , the soaking job to be continue, the part of birch bark contact the air turn the deep color,the part in water still is not change,the water turn more yellow
i use carbamide soaking it , the urine also same works, i am soaking them in a water bottle,put carbamide in hand so put them in bottle, the effect you can see the water and bark will turn more yellow less a week , the steam take the bark damp soon , the water soaking so many day the bark not damp, add the carbamide it will damp at a week, i am not rember exact time, if the soaked bark contact the air turn the color brown，one side is yellow one side is brown,today i see the bark i saved one years, it is the bark form a 10cm diameter birch summer cut form my hometown and others is a large size form a mountain of north china, now so many chroma and time and steam and carbamide andurine make many result mix together,i can not know how i make it and which layer of the birch bark on the primal bark , the 10cm diameter and summer cut birch bark works still like the hide,
when i tear the bark in to so many layers , the line easy break, also when i draw it , i find the differ of the two bark of young and old , it still need more experiment but not so more in my home,after carbamide soaking the bamboo turn more hard and its inner layer is brown , the birch turn more soft some time when bend it will break into many long layer, the carbamide not works on sinew but the urine make sinew more hard, it is difficultly use a large container soaking a long baoboo or wood or large bark,the taste will so strong , also difficultly burying it in a safety park, in the soil has carbamide, the new cuting bark easy made, that will mean you will cut the bark form a tree in spring, or buy a lot bark only a few bark can use it, here they are buy thousand wood and bark not for a few and not allow you select a 300 ib wood from wood stack
i am sure the birch in inland north china people not need go the seaside make the birch bark, the carbamide use make the soft and compress wood , the birch bark is a part of the birch it is easy break like the birch, so i want soft it , also the horde has more sheep/ cow urine
i hope who can use carbamide soak birch bark and post all process picture form aboriginality detail to last step to the bow , thanks
ps , the urine soaking the bladder glue for one month i need courage to test it
