Yeah, I was just watching this show ("Dirty Jobs") yesterday. They showed these guys pulling up logs (no bark) from a lake. There was no rotting apparently due to cold water and very little oxygen. Seems like they would have been perfect for carving. Then today I start bebarking a few cedar logs with my chainsaw and some of the bark ripped off before the cut. Damn it was smooth. Not that I didn't notice before, I just added 2 plus 2 and had a brainstorm. There has to be a better way. |
