A scraper is basically a flat rectangular piece of high carbon steel roughly the size of a 3x5 index card. The edge of the scraper is burnished, or rounded over to form a hook. This hook is then pushed or pulled across the surface of the wood to remove fine shavings. This type of scraper is used by woodworker's and cabinet makers, for the removal of paint, glue, etc. is another tool all-together. For the card scraper, I've listed a couple of sites below for futher explanation and a tutorial on sharpening them. * http://www.woodzone.com/articles/scrapers/index.htm * http://thewoodwhisperer.com/episode-14-barely-scraping-by/
