Finished up with the cutting, splitting, stacking for the year...

Ok, so the question is, what do you guys do with all the sawdust, wood chips, bark, etc that has now accumulated after cutting up all the log length wood?

I thought about burning the bark as kindling and using the sawdust as a mulch around some of the trees? Any other ideas??

From what I understand it's a good idea to let the sawdust decompose somewhat before using as mulch.

I rake it all up into a big pile and either burn it right there if it's dry, or load it into my pickup and take it to the dump where it is considered "yard waste" and recycled into compost for free. I use kindling to start fires with. The actual sawdust sort of disappears into the grass.

That will work. Throw a handful of nitrogen fertiliser if you mulch with sawdust, great for blueberries. Or add to your compost pile or compost barrel. Goes well with all garbage, coffee grounds etc., just don't add any meat products.
