Thank you, this scraper and handle are made by Carter & Sons. It’s a traditional bowl scraper. They make some really nice tools, haven’t tried DWay yet. I do have some Thompson handles and I like them as well.
Hey Bill, do you raise a burr by hand or are you using the burr raised by the grinder? I turned one of my Chinese scrapers into a negative rake scraper and the burr is gone after one pass. I’m sure the inferior steel has something to do with it, but I’ve also heard the NRS’s loose their burr faster then traditional scrapers. What’s your experience been?
I’ve turned around 50. I have thought about some embellishing on the bottoms. Just need to invest in some tooling.
If you have any diamond shaped carbides they can be used for making grooved surfaces. You could make a tool handle to hold the carbides instead of buying em. I've made a few using 3/8" rod....
I think I have one of those cutters somewhere. I’ll have to dig it out and give it this a try.
