A '''card scraper''' (also known as a 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.
Card Scrapers are also sometimes used in working with ceramics, where they may substitute for, or replace the more traditional wooden rib. The scraper is also useful for trimming damp or dry clay.
