I usually shoot the back of everything with some shellac or glue just to be on the safe side. I've lost a few to checking before I started sealing all of 'em.

I started debarking.  I got the thick outer bark off easy, but the inner chocolatly bark is really attached to the white wood underneath.  Should I worry about taking up some of the wood with the inner bark?  Or soak the stave in the shower for a while to help soften and loosen the inner bark and then scrape clean ???
