The Peavey Bark Spud is a peeling tool for taking the bark off logs, with an 18 in handle.
Use it to peel logs, or to strip the bark from hand-hewn beams for post and beam construction.
Peavey Manufacturing dates to the spring of 1857, when Joseph Peavey, a blacksmith in Stillwater, Maine, watched river drivers struggling with logs on the Stillwater branch of the Penobscot and made the first peavey in his shop. The company still makes tools in Eddington, Maine, and is owned and run by Rodney Jr. and Randy Buswell.
