A '''card scraper''' or '''cabinet scraper''' is a [[woodworking]] shaping and [[Wood finishing|finishing]] tool. It is used to manually remove small amounts of material and excels in tricky [[wood grain|grain]] areas where [[Plane (tool)|hand plane]]s would cause tear out. Card scrapers are most suitable for working with [[hardwood]]s, and can be used instead of [[sandpaper]]. Scraping produces a cleaner surface than sanding; it does not clog the pores of the wood with dust, and does not leave a fuzz of torn fibers, as even the finest abrasives will do.
