    If I were want to remove punk from logs I would use a tool like a Rogue Hoe. A big heavy hoe with a sharpened head made from a harrow disk. Use the blade side to scrape it clean and have a rake in hand to get rid of the debris.

    Now be honest, how many of you want that tool so you can shave YOUR punky oak?

    My husband did the shaving, he's more adept than me at chainsawing. IMG_20171202_1762.jpg
    The end results, all cleaned up IMG_20171202_10383.jpg
    The punk all turned into sawdust, so I won't be saving it in little paper bags. I don't have stuckinthemuck as my Secret Santa victim.
