If you just tell me where you get your bark and send me some pics I'm sure I can figure it out (and save you the hassle of shipping).



Can you make long tubes?



Sure is prettier than PVC!"

I can't really comment on Cali as I know nothing about the tree types in your neck of the woods.

Around here (I live in the woods) Me and the kids take hikes and look for all types of natural decor.

It is easy for us to find sheet bark as large as 6' by 6'.

Sometimes we get lucky and find bark coming off of very small branches, like what your looking for.

Simply glue (brown silicone) the seam together and you have a free bark tube.



You can take the larger sheet bark and roll it up brown silicon it and wire it till dry.

You can make them as long or wide as your imagination will let you.



On a side note you can always brown silicone the entire PVC tube and press coco coir on to it for a more natural look.

I'm sure you already know of this method.

If you can't find anything just let me know.

Shipping to you won't be a problem!

Er a I owe you a lunch anyway
