I will be making some "wire trees" in a few months that probably will be given as gifts. Some YouTube builders mount them on rocks, others use wood. I'd like to mount mine on a slice of wood from a log, probably 10 inches long and an inch thick. Keeping the natural bark on the wood slice will make it look nice. However, I'm concerned that over time that bark will dry and separate from the "slab". That would NOT be cool.
Any suggestions how I can keep that bark intact on the slab?
Thanks, Jim
