I don't know if I'll be using the rasp much, but didn't have any
problems at all. Yep, the surface it left was rough, but I'd epected
that - didn't figure on taking the wood down anymore than to round it.
Used the lathe tools after that.

An alternative is some of that really knarly sand paper in the bargain boxes...

I just got a 20 pound box of roll ends from Klingspor and a strip of that 80
grit with a sponge behind it removes wood pretty fast..
