Who cares if it does?
A nice little treatment with “shingled” pieces of cut birchbark, accented with the coved perimeter.
I didn’t do it, but I may use something like it in a room design I’m cooking up.

So how are they attached? Nailed or glued or?
I'll bet it's not glue.
Nails, maybe staples. Try out each on some birchbark.
A lot of BB gets used outside and inside here, and what I have seen for fastening is nails.

Hi Gene_Davis,
A nice little treatment with "shingled" pieces of cut birchbark, accented with the coved perimeter.
That is really sweet.....looks as if it could be done mostly with rejected scrap.....that's my style......virtually no cost....10 times the labor (mine)......finished product....priceless!
Personally I'd squeeze a blob of poly subfloor adhesive on the back and pop a single staple in each piece.
I'd also have built up a medallion of the same material above the lighting fixture. Something to add a little extra dimension without getting too busy with details.
Be sure and post pics if you follow through with the design you're thinking of doing.
