Larch trees

[LE05CAR]

Can anyone here tell me how well the bark on larch stands up after the tree is cut? I make rustic animals and can get hold of a fair bit of larch but I need the bark to remain intact for up to a year, do you think it will or is it likely to come away sooner than that? It will be kept outdoors so will remain relatively green.

I've had a look at some that has been cut over a year ago and the bark is coming away but it has been kept under a tarpaulin sheet so that may have had something to do with that.

Thanks

The three poles of larch that i have been meaning to mill for the past 18 months, still have the bark intact.

Great stuff, just what I wanted to hear, thanks

Bark will come off quicker if the logs have been through a harvesters head. Otherwise it should last 12 months
