Arborglyph “Bark” Valentine
An arborglyph is any design or symbol carved into the bark of a tree. Ancient peoples carved arborglyphs into trees as longterm artwork or simply as navigation markers. The carving of a heart with a Cupid's arrow and names or initials of lovers is a relatively contemporary custom. However, there are very good reasons NOT to carve into a living tree. The carving leaves a place for harmful insects to enter and exposes the tree to possible damage from disease. In short, it is just a bad idea to carve through the bark on a living tree. This project is designed to look like a small section of bark with your arborglyph carved in it. The gentle curved shape allows it to stand on its own for a unique display of affection! You can change and modify the carved wording to anything you like.
- 1/16" Carving Bit
- 1/8" Cutting Bit
