I am making a small basket from some chestnut tree bark. I soak the bark and then weave it to get the basket shape. In the video I explain each of the steps, so you can also make a bark basket if you want to.
I have also previously posted a film on harvesting tree bark:

Special thanks to @lisa_atkin_basketmaker for running the very inspiring and helpful session with the Kent bodgers.
