Maybe biting off more than I can chew.

Again, I can't thank y'all enough for the wisdom and advice given here. Just as soon as I get the mill put together, cut a few (old) cedars I have had for a few years - so not to waste the hickory - I will put up some of the pictures. As much as I was hoping to have the mill put together by now, life (and building a new house) happened! It's almost finished - we're being told 3-4 weeks left.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, but many of y'all have suggested that hickory (among others) should be debarked prior to milling. With this in mind, have any of you tried any of the chainsaw driven debarkers?

Draw knives are good, but I would think, much slower than something driven.

Thoughts?
