Cabinet Scrapers

Cabinet scrapers are a type of woodworking tool that are used for smoothing and shaping wood. They are flat pieces of steel that are bent into a curved shape, with one or both edges sharpened to form a cutting edge.

To use a cabinet scraper, the woodworker holds the tool at an angle and scrapes it across the surface of the wood, removing thin shavings of material. Because the scraper is a flexible tool, it can be used to work on irregular or curved surfaces, as well as on flat surfaces.

Cabinet scrapers are often used in woodworking to remove saw marks or other surface imperfections, as well as to smooth and shape curved or irregular surfaces. They are a simple, but essential tool for any woodworker, and are often used in combination with other hand tools, such as hand planes and chisels.

Cabinet scrapers can be purchased individually or as part of a set of woodworking tools. They require sharpening before use, and can be sharpened using a special file or burnisher. With proper maintenance and use, cabinet scrapers can last for many years and provide excellent results in woodworking projects.
