Attached adjacent the free end of each elastomer element is a broad metallic cutting element which scrapes bark from a log. Each flexible cutting member comprised of an elastomer element and a broad cutting element attached thereto conforms to the shape of a log advancing relative to the cutting member and scrapes a substantial portion of bark therefrom.
