I am doing some turning as a beginner and find that removing the bark
from a bowl blank to be time consuming and tool dulling.

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

Am wondering if a right angle grinder with some sort of blade would
work but I can't find the right kind of blade.

Any ideas.

Thanks.

I tried a hatchet once and also a wide chisel. Neither of which worked
well. Actually the chisel had to be driven thru the boundary of the
bark and wood.

I think I have see guys doing sculpture work on big logs using a right
angle grinder and some sort of blade but looked at Lowe's today and
they have nothing like that.

Time to do some Googling I guess.

Thaanks for the replies.
