I finally bought the Veritas scraper burnishing tool. That has made all

Yeah, my problem has been turning the hook too much. The last time I used
my scrapers, it felt like I finally "got it". I think I was using way too
much pressure when turning the hook. I haven't had a chance to do any
woodworking for a while but hopefully the new year will get me going again!
I do remember the cherry kind of peeled up vs. scraped up for lack of a
better description. Probably a sign of a dull or poorly sharpened scraper.
