Scrapers

Scraper blades are indispensable for smoothing wooden surfaces, removing marks left by planing and routing, cleaning glued joints and leveling uneven varnish coats. Sharpened properly and burnished with a fine hook, they are capable of removing the finest shavings and leaving a smoother and more precise surface finish than can be attained by grinding. By varying the pressure, angle and curvature of the scraper, you can achieve superb results even against the grain (knotty wood, inlays, parquet etc.). We recommend using a fine-grain waterstone for finishing the cutting edge and a diamond stone or fine flat file for leveling and squaring the edge when necessary.
