Good luck and enjoy your work with figured woods!

I find it is helpful to have several different modes to manage figured woods, including the Veritas scraping plane, bevel down and bevel up planes with a few different blade preparations and a toothed blade, card scrapers, and, yes, sandpaper.

Each species, figure, and board has its own personality and quirks. It’s worth the trouble.

I met Al Navas in November and got to your blog via his. I LOVE figured wood, and I can see that you do too. I have already drooled over some of the woods that you have posted.

Of course, like the rose and its thorns, figured wood comes with its tear out and I want to master working with it.

I’m glad the scraper is working out for you now. The most sensitive things to get right are the blade tilt and projection as discussed in the last three paragraphs above.

I bought this scaper a while back, but my initial usage did not produce what I wanted, and I put it back into the box. My thinking was that I would get it back out when I needed it again. But I actually, knew that I needed guidance and practice.

I appreciate you sharing your working experience with this product.
