This is an odd topic, but I thought I would throw it out there anyway. Has anyone ever used aspen, with the bark left on, for building furniture? Like many, I carved my wife's and my initials in a tree, and decided it might be cool to use that portion of the tree for a piece of furniture, maybe a pedestal to put a piece of taxidermy on.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I have researched and found a couple recommendations for a poly product, but I haven't been able to find any information on how long to wait to apply it. We cut the tree down green, so I am not sure how long it should dry, if at all, before trying to seal the bark.
Anyway, happy hunting!
