Thanks Toby, that'll help alot. Any idea if that works for other hardwoods, such as hickory.

One of my neighbors here in Oregon told me that

"Cut trees for posts when the new oak leaves are as big as a squirrel's ear,
and the bark will slip right off."

He was right. I've watched poor sods slaving away with a drawknife for hours
in summer and fall, but bark on logs cut at the right time pops off in
seconds with a spud or flat spade.
