I generally decorate the shanks with Lictenberg patterns and need the pale wood for them to be effective

just use a knife then a curved  cabinet scraper , I do quite a bit of Ash  that way ,,,fresh as possible is easier !!

Look up Mora draw knife should do the job, there knifes hold a good edge for s long time.

+1 on the knife and scraper,  hazel bark is too thin for a draw-knife

Shaved alot hazel for of yurt poles with a normal  draw knife dunno the maker.

 

Maybe a curved one would be ideal bur harder to sharpen it?

This is what I've used to strip hazle when I make greenwood children's chairs, incredibly sharp and has quite a lot of flex to the blade for the curve.

I have a few of these in the drawer if you're interested? I use a couple of boxes of these each trip off-shore.  They have been lightly used, they just end up in the bin otherwise.
