I have an Oak log out in the woods that came down in a wind a few weeks ago. I
decided to use it to get me a stump for pounding on in the shop, even tho it
will check like crazy as it dries. 12 inches in diameter so 30 or so inches of
that wet was a sweat getting up the hill. I decided I should debark it and
looked about for a spud-like device. I used a (to me) what's it that is
something like a dogleg chisel. Made by Proto, I suspect it is a break tool of
some sort. I have always passed on barking spuds at the fleas but now wonder if
I might should have one. My tool is about 12 inches long and not more than 1/4
lb. soaking wet so I had to drive it w/ a mallet. So, is a spud any easier? How
do you use one?
