A good tool to have for warbow making?
Pat B:
A round shank screwdriver works well for a burnisher.
Ruddy Darter:
Preparing a scraper by turning a burr on the edge is a new concept for me, I had no idea about that ::)... I found this YouTube video explained the method well so I thought I'd post it. h ttps://youtu.be/6KqPFQHqWJg
I also read up on burnisher alternatives, drill bit shanks is another.

I got a few cheap replacement scraper blades and I'm going to have a go at making something similar but simple with scrap wood, there's a couple of diy videos on YouTube showing how to make a quality one.
Thanks very much to all for the info,

I made one for nothing if that's a good price. Doesn't look as fancy as the Veritas but it works.
Ruddy Darter:
That's always the best price DC 8), I'll probably have a go at making something, I can't justify getting something I won't use a lot.
My burnisher arrived today. It's a Clifton 11mm diameter hardened carbon steel to 62 rockwell, large solid brass ferrule and a lovely rosewood handle. Not bad for a little over £20. I'll see how it transforms my card scrapers tomorrow.

I use it a lot. It's my primary tillering tool.
