I recently had a lot of large tree roots dug up when a sidewalk was being replaced. These are hardwoods and no concerns of chemical contamination.
My question comes with the preparation of the wood, specifically if the outer bark layer should be removed or not. I'll do the usual cleaning, hard wire brushing, and diluted bleaching (too large to boil). I'm just not sure if this bark can stay on the wood or if I need to remove it?
