Hello all, Quick question: My mother recently received a gift of a poem written in ink on a piece of tree bark. Does anyone have any suggestions on what she could use to preserve the bark without dissolving the ink? I don't remember the type of tree off hand, but it was from a tree near the border of Minnesota and Canada, if that helps at all. It doesn't have to last forever, but a good 20-30 years or so would be nice. Thanks for any help in advance, sorry for cross-postings.
