My wife is the artsy fartsy type and she is creating something new. How could I easily remove the bark from a log of about 14" long and 8" diameter? Log is from a willow tree and it was cut down last year. Its just been sitting on the wood pile outside for a little over a year.
I need the log intact and it must retain the circular shape, but without bark. Since the project has an up and down side I was wondering if I made one lengthwise pass on the circular saw, if I could then peel the rest of the bark off. I don't know if a year is enough time for it to peel?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
