Peavy or Cant Hook

[Stihl sawing]

I've used a cant for many years, but mine is a short one and big logs are getting harder to move as i get older. i'm going to get a longer one. now i've heard folks say get a peavy over a hook in conversations.

my question is why? I know what the physical differences in the two are. but what can you do with a peavy you can't with a canthook? Only differences i see in the two is the tip. one is straight and other 90 degree. what makes one better for rolling big logs better.

I have a couple monster oaks i'm going to cut here in a few days and mine ain't gonna roll em.

You want a Stihl peavey…?


I have one in the garage and in the last couple years I haven’t had one idea what to do with it

I thought about putting it out by the road but I didn’t bother cuz I figured someone I know someday might want it

Not sure what it would cost to ship - if shipping is economical I’d donate it to you - it’s barely used

Ship it like rock auto ships exhaust. With lable and some tape on the sharp ends.

Oh, the intent behind a canthook is to turn a cant at a sawmill

A peavy was designed to turn water driven logs


Most often leaves are seen (not so much at river driven logs anymore) to turn rough barked logs

Canthooks are usually seen turning over rough cut logs (cants) with a 90° edge


But yeah, like you said - you can kinda use either and come close to getting the same result with either

I would wrap it up in a solar cover cutoff….

So I retyped this post but ran out of time to edit it so I’m quoting it and posting below what I retyped….

I don’t like typos and after re-reading it I noticed it was very clunky to read so here’s the correction:

Most often nowadays, peaveys are seen (not so much with river driven logs anymore) turning rough barked logs from felled trees

Canthooks are usually seen turning over rough cut logs (cants) with a 90° edge


But yeah, like you said - you can kinda use either and come close to getting the same result

They have their places but you can do with one what you can do with the other - kinda like how ass is the other vagina…..

Many people can leave this specific community and one won’t see much change - long term members whom we once thought we could never do without - gone without a trace and the machine still runs as if they were never there

I say this point out that I don’t think we’d all be so lucky if Mister Payne were to disappear

With him we are everyone - and without him we are no one


Don’t ever leave us Mister Payne - for you are the glue that bonds us all together
