I am not burning this wood. If I did, I would burn the pine in the driveway. The black walnut is a few years old and cut for fire wood, but I got my son to give it to me instead of burning. He lived on Balsom Mountain for a year and his land lord sold two black walnut trees, and my son got the leftovers that the tree company did not want. The bottom six or eight feet was also left, a huge trunk. My son dulled my chain saw on it. He wanted diagonal slices, but ithe log was too thick.

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 r----- From: John Sherrer <mailto:john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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. I have some black walnut cut for fire wood that I also need to remove bark. Any good ideas? John Sherrer Check out my novel at: http://americastribulation.com
