--- Quote from: JW_Halverson on January 31, 2010, 04:31:44 pm ---A rough old rasp is definitely a good choice. I have tried using the Surform tools, but I have yet to get one that will even scratch hardwoods like osage, hickory, or oak. I can't understand what I am doing wrong, bec ause others have had good luck using them.

are you putting the blade on the facing the right direction?
mine works wonderfully on hickory,elm,osage,black walnut,ipe,maple etc
r-ice:
i have inquired and am hoping to pick up one of saw fillers scrapers.
and i'll have to take a look at this tillering gizmo and see where that takes me. =]
JW_Halverson:
GRRRRRR, sailordad!
YES, the blade was on in the right direction, the scars on my knuckles can attest to that! LOL.
jthompson1995:
I found microplane rasps at woodcraft and I've had more luck using them than a surform. They seem to be sharper and make a finer cut so there's less finish scraping and sanding to get a good finish. they have interchangeable blades in flat and rounded profiles. I like the rounded, works fast and shapes well.
sailordad:
