strip the bark off Explanation: “desbastado” is often used by archaeologists when describing the initial stages in flint knapping, and it means to get rid of the outer skin (cortex) of a flint nodule. For a tree, it is synonymous with “descortezar”, getting rid of the bark. I am not sure what the English word for that could be, “strip the bark off” maybe? I give this a low confidence level as I had never heard it used in this context; I think "pruning" could also work in a more general way. http://dle.rae.es/?id=CYEr16l desbastar 1. tr.
