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.

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

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?
