Found some wood in the area that people had trimmed ready to toss out. Sealed the top and bottom. So now Im ready. I started to use a wonder bar (pry bar) to hammer out the bark, seems to work quite well, is this acceptable?

Second question, the wood underneith the bark is wet, should I continue to get rid of the bark, then let the wood sit to dry out? And for how long?

Thank for your helpful insite tiki master!
