I was going to build a metal cross for a lamb next month. But life is having other plans and I dont think ill get it done in time. I recently saw a couple videos with small trees used as stakes for the cross. Idk why I didnt think of that, its been done that way as long as humans have walked the earth. I have plenty of oak that id guess would work fine. Im wondering if that is indeed OK, and if I should debark and/or dry the wood before cooking with it? Thanks for any adice
