For scraping convex shapes such as [[violin]] [[fingerboard]]s, small flexible rectangular scrapers are useful.
Scrapers are normally made from high carbon steel. There are many manufacturers who provide scrapers in a wide variety of styles. Many woodworkers prefer to make their own card scrapers by cutting them from old [[hand saw]] blades.
