Just Curious about Grips...

tyler, with the birch bark do you have to seal it from the weather and if so, what do you use to do that with? I'm staring at the birch tree in my backyard with mischief in my eyes.

I don't think its necessary to seal it anymore than it is to seal cork. I did coat mine with a few coats of Tru Oil, but I did it for aesthetics rather than the thought that I needed to seal it.

Be careful with your tree. I have read (though I have no first hand knowledge) that harvesting the bark of the tree will kill it. If you do decide to try it, I'd love to get my hands on some more bark.
