To do this, you simply tilt the burnisher slightly to one side of the scraper and run the burnisher along the edge repeatedly until you produce the burr you are looking for.
• Once your scrapers have the desired burr on each edge, you’ll be able to produce wonderful looking results on your wooden surfaces. Scrapers are perfect making your surfaces extra smooth and ready for light sanding for the finishing process. Using card scrapers has long been used by wood craftsman for years and is now becoming more common among beginners and mid level woodworkers.
• The burnisher measures approximately 11-1/2 inches in total length and has a hardwood handle with a steel ferrule. It can be used for standard burnishing applications and for working small, tight ends and spaces. The rod is made from hardened steel to withstand burnishing process.
