debarking hickory logs?
I have enought hickory tree's to make a small log cabin .thinking about 12' X20' has any one built their own cabin from green logs ?? if so how did you debark the logs ?? the logs is about 8 inches in dia and about 20 to 30 feet long.the logs has to be debarked because the bark hold moisture and bugs under the bark' also dried the logs will last many years .some hundred of year's. I have some draw knives . just trying to find an easier way
I do know about bailey's been buying from them for years . and they do have the best products and prices. I want to do this by hand . thinking about scoring lenghth wise with chain saw
A broad axe would be my preference for this job if I were to do it with hand tools. It allows for greater speed than the drawknives due to the swinging motion, and once you get good at it it will leave behind a quite smooth texture. And, remember that when you notch the ends of the logs to make them interlock the joints don't need to be tight, since it is highly traditional to caulk around all the seams and joints. The other hand tool that might be helpful for debarking would be a straight bladed adze. Also, for handling the logs I would reccomend that you buy a log jack. If you go to http://www.woodcraft.com they have several of these tools.
