Exterior House design- Bark -
The cover is beautiful but it is a fooler. There was only one picture that we were interested in. About a third of the pictures are in black and white. But to end on a positive note the one picture we liked made buying the book worthwhile as we will use it with our architect in designing our mountain home.

Insight to a regional treasure -
We just built a bark house. We stumbled onto bark siding when the neighborhood architectural review committee rejected Hardiplank. Thank goodness they did! This amazing natural material, mixed with native stonework, gave us just the feel of the North Carolina mountains that brought the whole project together.
The book provides wonderful information about the history and use of bark, once predominantly chestnut and now poplar. From its origination to techniques in manufacture, we learned the story of this great building material. We have the book out for guests who visit and are interested in something they have never seen elsewhere.
Nicely done.
Bark House Gorgous -
My husband and I were interested in this book because we just had our 3 dormer windows resided with this poplar bark. I have been a long time fan of anything from the older days of the Adirondack style so this look really appealed to me. It was my husband I had to convince. After bringing a sample home and browsing through this book at the bookstore I began to convince my husband this was the look I knew we'd love. Our entire house is very "lodgey" anyway so when we chose to reside the house it only seemed fitting to add some bark. This style is very expensive hence why we only did the 3 dormers and the rest of the house bat & board cedar and rock. Trying to explain to people what it is exactly can be tiring so by buying this book which is now our "Coffee table " book will show them what exactly we are doing.
If you are a fan of this look and want to go "green" to boot, and add an unusal "rustic kick" to the look of your house that you will not have to maintain for the next 80 or so yrs of your life- check this beautiful book out and buy a copy. If not to eventually use yourself on your home or cabin, then just to dream away the hrs in front of a crackling fire with a cup of hot cocoa this book will show you beautiful cozy pictures of "the look" page after page and with tons of history abound!
