Default Burnishing a Scraper

In article ,

if that burnishing tool is the aluminum plate with a couple of pins
sticking up, it works, but you could save $$ by just driving a couple of
concrete nails into a board and using them - you don't need that tool to
roll an edge on your scraper

And, you should probably avoid a scraper on the inside of bowls - it's a
great way to get amazingly spectacular catches - much worse than using a
gouge


Or not.... The key to scraping (inside or out) is a single, small
point of contact. Real easy to get a long contact point (or even two)
when inside (just like scraping the inside of a hollow form)

Personally I also often shear-scrape the final cuts
