Dave asked:
I'm trying to think
of a way to chop or grind (that sounds a little to fine) them in
quantity. Any ideas? I'll ask around about the decorative bark
though, just to make sure I'm not missing out.

Can't you put the bark through a garden muncher? The sort of thing
you put branches through to turn into finer bits to use as mulch or
compost? I use a little electric one that doesn't have a mesh on the
bottom so size is pot luck, but the big petrol ones have a mesh. just
a case of finding a friend with one you could borrow. I've used
these things for branches and bark for work (extracting natural
chemicals) as well as at home and they do the job.
