DE-barking a log half
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 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? (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) Tom |

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

It is the file that has hooks to grab wood. I use it two-handed. Grind the wood with the center area. Just remember with a tool of any type can grab something and pull in or throw the tool out at you. Martin |

Something like this would do the job http://www.arbortechusa.com/view/woo...g/trade-blade/ or an arbortech Pro-4 perhaps. |

Any ideas. ---------------------------------------------------------- The following works on fiberglass, it would be my first stab at it. A 4" Dia, Milwaukee right angle sander/grinder equipped with a sanding disc attachment. Remove the guard. 4" Dia, 24 grit x 7/8" ID sanding discs. Don't waste your time with anything but Milwaukee. Metabo, best there is! I burned out everybody but Milwaukee. Go to a good industrial hardware, definitely not a Lowes or HD item. I bought discs in lots of 60 to get a price. Wear a sanding mask.

The chineese version costs more. -- Jeff |
