Default DE-barking a log half

I am looking for a way of removing bark on a green blank.


This is kind of low-tech, but how about using a bark spud and just peeling
it off by hand?


Another common method is to use a hatchet.
It probably depends on the size and shape of the piece.

(a bark spud is kind of like a great big wood chisel with a long handle -
you push it down the log peeling up the bark)
