Wood Turning Burl: Removing the Bark From a Burl Wood Tree log chunk

[@lesliekho8970]

Thanks for sharing sir.. would it increase the moisture content of the wood because of soaking process? I love burl wood and often do epoxy projects and the wood moisture is very much concern to me.

I would say yes, but I am not really sure. I have heard that getting the surface of wood wet like in the rain won't really effect the moisture content. I would say try power washing without soaking and see if it works. If not just wait longer and the bark will loosen up over time.

Well done.

Looks good but now I need a power washer…..I’ve had great success with sand blasting also

Yes you do. They are very helpful in many way. Take a look at the smaller electric ones.
