The RodMaker article dealt with making birch bark grips. If you want to simply use bark as an accent or inlay, then one of the other RodMaker articles on inlaying veneer will be your better bet.

OK Thanks Tom, I probably need more experience before I try a grip. Would love to get a copy of article though.
