Vaughn, we’re discussing tree skin – Sheesh.

Nice bark indeed!

No better bark for carving initials than a Beech.

Every love-torn teenager knows this.

The smooth bark – you can see it at the top – is easy on your pen knife, and the yellow-white layer underneath makes your baby’s name shine. I visit woods where I roamed decades ago; my Beech scribbling is still visible, but the loved ones are just a memory.

Sometimes, lonely sheep herders carve some crazy things into the bark of aspen trees.

The ponderosa pine has thick bark, which can protect the tree against fires.
