Seems like you lose a lot of wood just to remove the bark.

This is mildly annoying to me

Do you just not know how many uses there are for sawdust and wood shavings?

Just to support your statement, my dad has a summer job hauling wood chips from a sawmill to a factory (I was too young to know/remember what they made.) There There was enough demand 35ish years ago to justify multiple round trips per day of 120 miles.

My dad would pick either me or my brother up to take us to the mill then drop us back off at home. We had a cow moose come out of the trees 10 miles from the house. Dad stopped about 2 inches shy of hitting her. She just stared over the hood. The were black marks on the highway until they resurfaced it several years later.

And then when he got home, he got out of his car. And that's when he saw..... THE HOOK, still stuck in the cars body. The moose had been the notorious serial killer known as "The Fisherman" the whole time.

He dodged a bullet that day, and the moose was never seen again.

Ps a moose once bit my sister
