   From experience with fir roots/branches for my bentwood furniture.... hopefully maple reacts the same......leave the bark on, it helps slow drying and reduces checking, keep it in a dry(warm if possible) high air flow area for one to two years to stabilize and then....peel it and work away.(or kiln dry slowly to get to it sooner)
