Not intending to divert you from finding a good drawknife but I'd like to suggest one of these for peeling logs. It works great at least on pine I haven't tested it yet on hardwoods. If you can elevate your logs to about knee high it saves you backache and keeps you up off of the logs. You don't get covered in sap. I think it's proper name is a "slick" I call mine BACH.
