birch bark backing?

[scars]

Does anyone have some yellow birch bark or know where I can get some?

I just seen takefive's awesome cherry bark bow and was thinking that a combo of cherry and birch bark would make a nice contrasting backing.

Paper birch(canoe birch) is the only birch bark I know of that you can use as a backing and only as a decorative baking, unlike choke cherry bark which is quite strong.

Choke cherry! I forgot about it that's what we use to use in North Dakota.
Yellow birch has a golden color looks and is used the same as paper birch.

I guess I could sneak down to the church in the middle of the night and peel a couple of strips of paper birch off the tree.    Nawww

It's only for contrast not for strength.

If any one has some I'm will to beg, borrow or buy. choke cherry, cherry or birch.

I think that would be a very cool looking combo.  I don't have access to the cherry bark where I live, so I buy it from Raptor Archery.  Make sure you post pic's if you make that bow.
