That's what I was thinking, it's bad enough to me using the Emery boards and Kraft sticks to try to keep the facetting down to a minimum. By the way, I'm working on a stem for one of my Reverse Calabashes and I'll put some pics up in a little bit. Question, I know there is not an easy way to radius the top and bottom of the blade to make it thinner, but maybe a tip or two on getting it done a lil faster.LatakiaLover wrote:Been there, tried that. For cabinetry where most surfaces are flat, an expertly used & properly cut/prepped scraper indeed womps ANY type of sanding.
On pipe stems, where (almost literally) NO surface is EVER flat, scraping creates a shit ton of teenie weenie parallel ridges. Curved scrapers help some, but since they can never EXACTLY match the needed radius, you're still left with an unacceptable number of teenie weenie ridges.
