Try a good old fashioned Draw knife. More barkcomes off with less work and the log is Smoothe all around. Also it is not imbedded with chisel killing grit from the grinder.
You can really work up a sweat with the drawknife, but Much lass than the other methods.
How dry is the log", If it's Oak and still fresh, be careful of splitting. Looks like fun.
