newbie needs help skinning tree

Hola. I have a 5ft palm stump still in the ground. My neighbor is going to carve into a tiki if/when i get it stripped. What a pain...i've been using a chain saw, knife, and hand saw...but is very slow going. Are there any tips or shortcuts to stripping a palm?

I personally use a chain saw , but if your chain is not new or very sharp its going to take a effort,

In-ground is gonna be tough to skin especially in that area next to the fence. A chainsaw will likely be your best bet, but every time the chain touches the ground for more than about half a second it'll become dull enough that you'll need to sharpen.

Try using a utility knife
