Fresh Herringbone Card Scrapings



herringbone-scrapingsI was scraping a centerstrip of herringbone-style banding flush with a Wenge back when I thought it might make a cool picture.

When a card scraper is sharp, and it hits the back just right, it will peel off a nice layer of material. Here, it was peeling off thin layers of the herringbone pattern.

Such a simple, yet versatile too: long live the card scraper!
