Bark Scrapers and In-Shaves for Timber Processing
Bark scrapers and in-shaves are essential hand tools for anyone working with raw timber. Bark scrapers are used to peel bark from logs for processing, seasoning, or treatment, while in-shaves (also called drawknives or hollowing tools) shape and dress wood surfaces in timber framing, log building, and craft woodworking. CSP Forestry carries durable bark scalers and in-shaves built for the repetitive demands of timber processing. These tools pair naturally with our log handling equipment and sawmill supplies.
Complete your timber processing toolkit with chainsaw supplies, saws, and axes from CSP Forestry. We also carry bark gauges for measuring bark thickness, which is often done before peeling operations. Our forestry and logging catalog covers the full range of tools that timber professionals need from stump to mill.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bark scraper used for?
Bark scrapers remove bark from freshly cut logs to speed drying, prevent insect infestation, and prepare timber for processing. They're commonly used in logging and sawmill operations and log building.
What is an in-shave tool?
An in-shave is a curved drawknife used to shape concave surfaces on wood — common in timber framing, saddle making, and cooperage. Like other timber hand tools, in-shaves complement our broader range of forestry and field tools.
Do you carry bark gauges as well?
Yes. Our bark gauges measure bark thickness for research and timber valuation. They pair well with bark scrapers and other forestry tools in a comprehensive timber assessment kit.
What other log processing tools do you carry?
We carry log handling tools, skidding tongs, cant hooks, log savers, and chainsaw supplies for a complete timber processing and handling toolkit.
