Felled Bark Spud Debarking Tool Log Peeler Tools Bark Removal Tool Log Debarker Tool Bark Peeler Bark Stripping Tool

This tool works well when used as intended / designed AND the log is properly steadied. Recommend that you look on you tube at the different uses for drawknives vs bark spuds first- I sharpened it right out of the box like all edged tools I have ever purchased. The head was slightly loose as others mentioned but that didn't matter after about the 4th push against the bark- it jammed in and steadied just fine. This is curved to work under the bark and peel AROUND the trunk, not long ways. A draw knife is a better tool for working long ways on thinner bark. Still, it works OK long ways to get a cut started if the curve is pointed down towards the bark, NOT up like a ski. Since logs are round and tend to want to roll, having the log steadied and waist height in a "V" notch post will help make this tool work most effectively.

I tried everything but just no luck. Sticking with the draw knife

The blade is satisfyingly heavy, with just enough of an edge. The only fault I can find with it is that the unfinished handle fits loose with a single machine screw. I don't have much experience with debarking tools, so maybe this is a feature? Time will tell how well it will hold up.

The product is flimsy and not appropriate for heavy debarking. It is cheaply made.

Heavy but not sharp. Looks like it will work good.
