Wow! Great technique! I swear this was a miracle answer to prayer. I always see God guide me when I ask. No kidding, before this video popped up at the top of my list, I prayed about a pile of logs I have, & my desire to do sculpture with them, after drying them a long time, & if I should go buy a draw shave knife tool. This was encouraging... I'm coming back to add, that the technique shown in this video was PERFECT for my needs. I immediately went out to try it, by improvising for peeling an older, dried, smaller log. I used an oscillating multi Dremel tool to scribe the wood & get it started. I used the principle of a peeling spud, using some scrapers I have as a substitute tool; plus inserting them as a wedge, to peel more, & then just taking a strike with a hammer on the scraper. It was perfect. The bark came off in large segments this way, & was so fast. A draw knife would have been totally the wrong tool for my older dried logs. (I used my chisel for the knots/ holes). I was truly blessed to be shown this video after praying, giving the perfect technique that was exactly what i needed. Wow. What a blessing. Peace. Love wins.

Ya and the bark only slips easy like that in the spring when the sap is running, I'm sure you can get it throughout early summer but with much more work

Yes it is pal

Somewhere in the middle of June and starts tightening back up in August

@@MSLLOGGING Okay Thanks I want to build my log cabin out of Tulip Poplar. I was told to remove the bark immediately after felling the trees or within a day or two but no more. Always keep it off the ground. I thought I would debark an you did then power wash, then spray them with bleach to kill off bacteria to keep from having any rot or bugs. Any thoughts? p.s., my home will be in the middle of West Virginia :)

@@timgiles9413 are u using the bark for siding and the tree for building

@@MSLLOGGING I have no use for the bark but I will be hand hewing the logs after I debark them. Your method looks like the way to go to debark them. I counted 48 logs needed just for the outside structure plus smaller logs for the loft floor joist and rafters.

@@timgiles9413 you can use the bark for siding if it was me I'd let the logs dry for a while set spaces in between the logs to let air go threw cover on top with ten or something if u want to use the bark practically the same thing cut them 20 inches wide spaces in between were air will flow threw put something real heavy on top of them to flatten them
