CRUCIBLE CARD SCRAPER
Based on Welch Chairmaker John Brown’s design
Over the last 50 or 60 years, woodworkers have lost the tradition of shaping their
scraper to their needs & have had to make do with a rectangular scraper. Most of us bow the tool with
our thumbs to present a curved cutting edge to the wood, at great expense to the thumbs.
Crucible Tools' Card Scraper is gently curved along both edges and has a second accelerated curve at the
corners. It works brilliantly on flat & curved surfaces and you don't need to bend it with your thumbs!
The 1095 spring steel is cut to shape using waterjet for precision, then hardened & tempered to Rc 48 to 51.
Tool edges are hand ground & polished & faces are blued for rust-resistance. Includes a magnetic pad,
which acts as a heat sink, keeping it comfortable to use on long jobs.
