Well, one idea is that pine isn't such a good wood for burning. It can clog up the chimney. And black walnut is a sin to burn so you should probably send it to me. hahaha If the wood is real dry, you can peal it off by hand. Otherwise start at the end and drive a chisel in to get it started. Drive it lengthwise just like the grain and you should be able to get a nice roll started. Just a thought, but if it's for burning, you don't have to get rid of the bark. If the bark is dry, it will catch and help the rest of the wood get going. Maybe you are building a canoe and need the bark. hahaha ----- Original Message ----- From: John Sherrer To: blindwoodworker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, November 09, 2013 1:34 AM Subject: [blindwoodworker] Removing Bark Hi Woodworkers; I need a good idea for removing bark from some pine logs.
