Spiral cut cherry bark?

<< < (2/2)

Stickhead:
Well, nobody totally shot it down, so it sounds like another experiment for my list.  Joe - if you learn anything working with that cherry, I'm all ears.

330bull:
I ran out of time but I'll make sure to "experiment" in the next few weeks.

duffontap:
According to "Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast," coastal Natives routinely cut bitter cherry bark that way.  I don't think there would be too serious of a strength issue but I don't think you would find too many trunk sections that would be worth the effort of spiral-cutting.  I concentrate on clean sections when I cut it.  It has been on my to-try list for a couple years.   :P
