Good info. I use scrapers all the time and have got the thumbs to prove it. I made a scraperplane as a kid at school from a "Woodworker" magazine article. I have plenty of hand scrapers and sometimes use my Stanley No.80. It always saved money over buying abrasive paper as a student, and I always reach for a scraper for any difficult grain. On quitar necks the process is Drawnknives, Spokeshaves, scrapers and abrasives. I have just bought a Quangsheng no.62, partly for it's scraping capabilities. Shooting is another use that I will put it to with it's intechaneable blades.
