    I can't get over how thick and rough that BL bark is. That must hamper the drying a bit.

    Not really. The bark is soft. If left unprotected once felled/down it comes off with machete or hatchet easily after a few months. Some of these the bark was loose. Stinks something terrible too. It is cool on larger trees. Hard to miss.
