Is it advisable to remove the bark from white wood as soon as it's been felled and split?  I only ask cos I have a few ash staves that've been curing for the past couple of years - but I left the bark on and just sealed the ends.  Have I made more work for myself?

Crooket - that's a nice lot of future meat-makers you've got there ;)

Nice bounty ! Roy, I'm not real sure what sugar berry is. Does it go by another name or have a scientific name? Thanks

It's basically the southern version of hackberry.

)Maybe he meant to spell Ironwood or Hornbeam/Hophornbeam?

either way, nice haul :) I hope you make a lot of bows/arrows (the ash could make good sturdy arrows) from that!
