climbing Explanation: This is more or less what happens as the barking blade rises from the log or trunk, instead of cutting away the bark. Note that although sometimes used, 'debarking' is not a correct word. It should be 'barking'. The same applies to 'delimbing' and 'limbing'. You will 'limb' in this sense in a comprehensive English dictionary. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day17 hrs (2011-01-02 10:44:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, should be: You will find 'limb' in this sense... |
