Scraping really tears up wood.

It can. Wants a careful hand, that's for sure. Much better to cut cross
the grain than up against as some do. They call that "shear scraping,"
though it's really cutting without benefit of bevel. Strange thing, with
the proper tool angle you can do the shear and have your bevel too.

Thanks, I will try that. I cut a little 1/8 notch in
my spindle using a scraper on pine wood. It really tore
up the wood. I will sharpen the blade, as the other suggested,
and try again.

I made the other notches using my chisel.
