Stew-Mac Scrapers

Featured Replies

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.

Lew, Here is an excellent video.

I thought the name Stew Mac was familiar, a buddy of mine knew I had an interest in building violins and he gave me one of their catalogs to look through, they are fun book to peruse! A whole new world of woodworking tools awaits in this catalog!

I really like the look of those.

 

I might have to give them a try. I love using scrapers.

Interesting.  My first thought was you can't flex that thing.

But then it doesn't have sharp corners so flexing it should be unnecessary.
