I had noticed the bark still on the cut ones from last year comes off real easy, which is good for me b/c if I use it for a furniture I'll want the bark off anyway. Originally I tried to figure out what to do with all the cotton "tails" and fluffs that come off the tree (of which we have several) and it wasn't til I went to cut a few trees down last fall ( with an ax--took several hours even for the smaller ones) that I thought they might be good for something other than decorative fencing--so I still have about 10 of them already cut ranging in size from 4-10 inches round and about 20-30 foot long. They do have a lovely smoothness to them under the bark, I can just see them now with a nice clear coat or maybe a stain to bring out that cappucino color, mightily crafted into the most beautiful lamp stands, picture frames, coat hookracks ever made ( I am one who practically salivates when I find shows like Yankee Workshop or This Old House on LOL)...now if I can get my hands to figure out how, it will be a miracle LOL :haha: Thanks for all the help, wood is a wonderful thing ain't it?
