Homemade Wood Shavings
- 1). Secure a log or a piece of firewood in a vise to hold it securely in place.
- 2). Position the drawknife over the far end of the wood, aligning the blade approximately 1/8-inch from the top of the wood piece and beneath the bark of the wood.
- 3). Pull the drawknife over the wood in short, smooth motions.
- 4). Continue to peel the log, using the same motion, for wood shavings once the bark has been removed.
