Stew-Mac Scrapers

[Gene Howe]

Had an opportunity to use my recently acquired Stew-Mac scrapers on some walnut inlaid curly maple drawer fronts.
The walnut is a 1/4" strip lengthwise on the drawer front that forms pulls as it passes over two forstner formed recesses. I used the scraper to level the walnut even with the maple.
These little scrapers are designed for luthiers' use but, they are great for small smoothing tasks on any project. Especially on hard to work wood like curly maple.
I especially like the heft of these. They are about 3/16 thick and have divots in the sides for your thumbs. Far more comfortable to use than a traditional thin scraper.
Here is their site.

Stewmac is a good company. I have purchased from them in the past, mainly banjo parts for me!
