We're trying to clean the bark off of our own cut cedar to make fencing that can be finished with a sealer

If the posts are fresh cut, you will have to shave them with a draw knife. You might be able to do parts of them with a power washer, but it will have to be at least 4500 psi. If you stack them and let them air dry, a lot of the bark will come loose after several months, then a power washer will be much more effective.

If I were doing it I'd use telephone poles cut to the right lengths. They will outlast any treated or cedar post and are 3 times bigger for rigidity. It is overkill but that is my preference to do better than what it only needs. Then if you like you can drill holes through each post and run steel 1/2" cable through and tighten it all up at the end post. This would be a very durable and strong fence.

A draw knife may work, but it would take a while.
