Removing Sapwood
I have got a white box trunk section that I am planning on using as a side table. I've removed the bark with relative ease but now need to remove the flaky sapwood. I've experimented on a section with a tomahawk, chisels, sander etc but cannot seem to get it off without cutting into the heartwood.
I have done this before with the tomahawk and ended up with a "chiseled" finish that looked quite good. This time however I wish to have a smooth natural finish.
While I'm here........ Does anyone have the secret to ensuring a perfectly flat, level and parallel cuts for the base and top of logs? I have managed in the past with trial and error, chainsaws and electric planes, but would like to find an easier way...
Sorry that this is a double post.....
