The Ochsenkopf Debarking Spud is an essential tool for quickly removing light or heavy bark from medium to large trees and can also handle small branches.

Once your tree is safely felled and lying horizontal, use this tool with both hands to apply force and peel the bark off the stem. For best results, perform this task when the sap is rising between April and July for an easy and satisfying experience.

Made by renowned German toolmakers Ochsenkopf in a Daun pattern, this is a tough, professional-grade tool.
