How To Peel Logs FAST! Debarking Secrets for LOG CABIN
video description
But I am wondering, do you peel once the logs are dry, or do you peel green? I would imagine dry logs (knots most being deadly on the blades) but I'm doubtful about green logs. Are standing dead logs desirable to peel by all, or was that just that company? I really don't know! Thought you might, haha thanks!

Did you ever consider spinning the log with an old motor and debark them using a roughing gouge or something similar? Set up a track using angle iron. The whole setup would be dirt cheap as long as you have electric available.

IT'S A LIE!
That was not just debarking. It was debarking PLUS planing smooth! This young man's technical ability with and safe use of tools sharp enough with which to shave has me totally mesmerised! Well done.

Is this a fresh fallen or seasoned log. Presuming you're young and fit and have mastered the technique of the correct angle of draw etc, and, I'm old and not fit or experienced is 2 hours more realistic for me?

I watched this done by hand like this on an episode of DirtyJobs, except that the pro loggers were wearing a thick leather apron to protect their chest and stomach from accidents with the blade.

Hey brother love this video. And I would like to ask you a question I'm trying to build my cabin how long would you let the logs to dry out or do you recommend to start working on them already.

Wouldn't it be easier to strip the bark in the winter when sap is less of an issue? I don't see too much indication that there is a lot of sap, but thought I'd at least ask.

it is a wet tree. that's why its so fast. I did a few 3 m, 10ft logs a week ago and it took better part of an hour to finish just one single!
my shoulders still scream.

Might be a silly question but what is normally done with the stripped bark? Can it be utilized for anything useful? Just curious.
Love the videos!

VERY well done! It takes me longer to peel 35 foot long Tipi poles but, they have to be even smoother, though they are much smaller in diameter!

What tree species are those? I'm looking at debarking a bunch of Balsam fir logs (likely 12 diameter) to use as posts for a new equipment shed.

No secret here unless you are a liberal who is allergic to hard work. A sharp drawknife and a backbone are all that is needed.
