    Default Bark Removal

    i got a number of pieces of burl with the bark still on

    is there an easy way to remove the bark

    thanks for any suggestions

    Yes I found the best way is to use a high presure cleaner and they will do the trick with no trouble at all.

    I use the high pressure hose for large burls, sometimes with a bit of help from a prodger. For smaller pieces of burl for casting, I trying prying off the bark,but revert to the wire wheel for the stubburn bits.
