I was wondering. Does anyone know if grafting bark from one tree to another would work? Or am I barking up a wrong tree? It's winter and I've got too much time to sit around and think this stuff up.

Unless you can get the piece of bark all the way down to include its associated cambium layer your barking at the moon.(LOL) Then you have to hope the bark will join and continue to grow. This sounds to me like a whole lot of trouble for a little bit of advantage. You can sometimes get away with glueing old bark on top of an area where the bark has been damaged.
I figured as much but I was reading posts on white pines and it occurred to me to take bark from one and..... well you can probably see where I was going with this.
Back to looking at mounds of snow with trees under them.
