Bark Whip
This little bark whip is made from a single branch, using its bark for the twisted thong and a rose-shaped handle decoration. A long stick was used, with the outer bark and the wood removed (except for the rigid handle). The remaining inner bark was then beaten soft and twisted like a rope to form the thong. The "rose" was shaped just by dividing and stretching the several layers of the bark. Total length: about 5ft over all, thong 3ft. (07/07/2005)
