what to do with bark after trimming?

[Ron Pratt]

skylergirl – as I said above ” I carefully just skim off the outermost hard skin of the exterior.” Though sometimes the way I “steak out” the piece I will not trim the ends at all and those steaks are mine. And other times I won’t trim the horizonal (sides) at all and my wife will just cut around that area and leave them for me. Like I said – try it sometime…maybe you won’t like it, but you should at least try it! Ron
